How it is worked out

Filament = grams / 1000 x spool price. Power = watts x hours / 1000 x price per kWh. Printer wear = printer cost / life hours x print hours (covers nozzles, belts and the day it dies). The failure buffer is added to filament, power and wear. Your time is hands-on minutes at your rate, not print time. Price = cost x (1 + markup), then grossed up so the selling fee comes out of the buyer's price, not your profit.
