Saved estimates checked September 25, 2026. Common materials use August 2026 retail medians, not arithmetic averages or live prices. PLA and PLA+ share the source's PLA-family category. Specialty materials use the listed product references; grades and suppliers vary. Tax and delivery are additional. Replace any estimate with your actual cost.
TPE is the mean of two product lines, normalized per kilogram. PVA is $99.95 ÷ 0.75 kg. PLA-GF uses a regular list price. Other requires manual entry.
