PLA, PETG and ASA cost per gram — what to expect
The effective cost per gram of 3D printing is not a single number — it decreases as the order grows, because each print carries a fixed €2.00 base fee and an absolute €4.00 minimum per item. For PLA Standard on our Bambu Lab P2S, expect roughly:
- • Under 30 g — €0.13–0.40/g (minimum price kicks in)
- • 50–100 g — €0.10–0.12/g (sweet spot for small parts)
- • 200–500 g — €0.06–0.09/g (typical mid-size prints)
- • 1 kg and above — €0.05–0.07/g (large prints, bulk orders)
PETG HF adds roughly +€0.004/g over PLA, ASA adds roughly +€0.010/g. Exact numbers for your file land in 30 seconds after upload — the table above shows them at standard bracket weights.
Per-Gram Pricing Questions
How much does 100g of 3D printing cost?+
In standard PLA, 100 g costs about €10.21. In PETG HF roughly €10.61, in ASA about €11.21. The price includes material, ~3.3 hours of machine time, electricity, and a small base fee. You can get an exact slicer-based price by uploading your STL/3MF.
How much does 50g of 3D printing cost?+
Around €6.10 in PLA, €6.30 in PETG HF, €6.60 in ASA. A 50 g part takes ~1.7 hours to print on our Bambu Lab P2S.
Why does the price not scale linearly with weight?+
Each order has a small fixed base fee, and there is a €4 minimum price per item. For very small parts (under ~30 g) the minimum kicks in. Above that, price scales with material weight, print time, and electricity.
Are these prices final?+
These are accurate estimates based on average geometry, 0.2 mm layers and 15% infill (Standard quality). The exact price for your file is computed automatically from real BambuStudio slicing data when you upload your STL/3MF — most files match the estimate within a few percent.
