calculate weight of 3d printed object
Hello,
Help, please.
I want to calculate the weight of an object prior to printing.
I asked a couple of filament manufacturers but received no response.
I am trying to get my formulas right before hand.
density = mass/volume
volume = density * mass
The print area on printer is 300mm X 300mm X 420mm
Which gives a total volume of 37,800,000mm3 OR
3,780,000cm3.
The density of polycarbonate is 1.20g/cm3.
so, the weight of a full build would be:
3780000 * 1.20 = 4,536,000g
4,536,000g /453.592 = 10,000.17lbs (is that right??)
I don't think any of these hobby 3d printers could handle a 5ton print.
Where did I go wrong?
Thank You.

Lol, one cm3 is 1,000 mm3.
Most slicers will also do this for you taking into account wall thickness and infill amount.
