How to use it
- 1Choose an STL to measure its volume automatically, or type the volume from your slicer (Chitubox and Lychee show it in ml).
- 2Enter a support allowance — 10–20% for simple parts, 25–30% for detailed miniatures.
- 3Enter how many copies are on the plate and the waste from washing and drips.
- 4Enter the bottle price and size to see the cost per part.
Pick the right resin
Standard resin is the cheapest and suits models and prototypes, while engineering, dental and jewelry resins cost more but are made for specific jobs. Browse resin prices in Jordan or wash & cure stations.
How much resin does a print use?
Resin use is the model’s volume plus supports and a little waste. 1 cm³ equals 1 ml, so a model that is 20 cm³ needs about 20 ml before supports. Supports usually add 10–30%, and washing and drips lose a few percent more.
Hollowing is the biggest saving: a hollowed figure with 2 mm walls can use half the resin of a solid one. Always add drain holes so trapped resin can escape.
Frequently asked questions
How much resin do small models need?
A small 3–4 cm miniature usually needs 3–10 ml including supports, while a solid 10 cm model can need 50–100 ml. Hollowing large models cuts that a lot.
Is 1 cm³ the same as 1 ml?
Yes. The model volume in mm³ divided by 1,000 is the volume in ml, which is what this calculator uses.
How can I use less resin?
Hollow large models and add drain holes, use lighter supports, fill the plate with several copies, and let parts drip over the vat before washing.
How many prints do I get from 1 liter of resin?
It depends on size: about 100–200 small 3–4 cm miniatures, or 10–20 solid 10 cm models. Enter your model’s volume to get an exact number.
