Material Summary / Results

Aggregate stock supports separate jobs or planned spool changes, not guaranteed continuous printing.

Calculation method

Required = grams per part × quantity × (1 + allowance ÷ 100). Shortage = max(0, required − available). Purchase spools = ceil(shortage ÷ purchased net grams).

How to use this tool

Count only compatible, unreserved stock. Aggregated stock is suitable for separate parts or confirmed spool changes; it does not prove that one continuous job can finish. Material cost covers planned consumption, not full spool purchase spend.
