What to enter
| Input | Meaning and units |
|---|---|
| Net filament mass (g) | Enter net filament mass in g; use the same basis as the other measurements. |
| Measured filament diameter (mm) | Enter measured filament diameter in mm; use the same basis as the other measurements. |
| Supplier material density (g/cm³) | Enter supplier material density in g/cm³; use the same basis as the other measurements. |
Understanding your result
Uniform circular filament and entered bulk material density; no hardcoded polymer profile or material suitability claim.
Common mistakes
- Use density in grams per cubic centimeter, diameter in millimeters, and net filament mass.
Check your calculation
- Use the worked example as a known reference case, then change one input at a time and check the direction and units of the response.

How long is my filament at an entered diameter and density?
Estimate cylindrical filament length from net mass, measured diameter and supplier density.
Common uses
- How long is my filament at an entered diameter and density
How it works
A diameter in mm gives area pi*d²/4 in mm². One meter has volume numerically equal to that area in cm³; divide mass by density times this area. Uniform circular filament and entered bulk material density; no hardcoded polymer profile or material suitability claim. Entered slicer estimates, measured material quantities and user costs only. No printer calibration, material suitability, electrical design or safety assessment.
Worked example
Enter Net filament mass: 100 g; Measured filament diameter: 2 mm; Supplier material density: 1 g/cm³. Results: Estimated filament length: 31.830988618379067 m.
