Costs of prints?

[bshadown]

An small question, how long a typical roll is? I know most people simply measure the weight but every time i use slic3r it tells me the total cúbic mm the desing has, and i want a faster way to measure the total filament used with out the need of Actually print the desing ( had some troubles with some customers already, they want cheaper on bigger prints)
And according to my math theres 2'405 cúbic mm per meter in a1.75mm filament. Any idea?

According to MakerGeeks:

Big question of the day is... how long is a spool of 3D Printing Filament!? Hummmmm, I think even Blinky the wise old MakerGeeks.com owl might have a hard time with that question but never fear... we have the answer!!

1/kg Spool	PLA 1.75mm	PLA 3mm	ABS 1.75mm	ABS 3mm
	302,000.00mm	120,192.30mm	245,000.00mm	147,732.30mm

... and what does that mean to me and you!! Well, check this out... if you are printing with 3.00mm filament for a iPhone case you need about 2,700mm of filament; for a EPIC Starship Enterprize Model you'll need about 12,000mm of 3D Filament and for a full Kossel 3D Printer Kit we normally use about 50,000mm of filament. Another way to look at it according to MakerBot is that 1 spool of 3D Filament produces about 392 full sized chess pieces. Whoa... that's a lot of chess!!
