While printing with a variety of 3D printing filaments, I've noticed that it's often difficult to compare filament prices in terms of volume/length (frequently used in estimating filament usage) because (1) filaments are almost always sold by weight, and (2) materials differ in density and spool weight. It can also be a challenge estimating how much filament is left on a spool by weight alone. I found a number of calculators online, but none that address this specific need in a simple way.

So I created an online filament calculator (and sortable list for comparing price per weight/volume/length) to do this for me. I've found it to be useful, and I'm hoping it might be useful to other 3D printing enthusiasts as well.

The website is new, and I'm still in the process of adding filaments (aiming to include a lot of the most popular filaments with time), but I'm also looking for feedback so I can improve the site. Suggestions, tips, and corrections are welcome.

Thanks!
