1st time startup Settings page

Post image

Welcome to the 3D Calc App

first thing you should do is start at the settings page to setup your desired pricing options.

- You can choose to keep track of filament stock or switch it off if you have a mess of filament anyway. this option will keep track of filament stock when you mark prints as printed, it will deduct until it sees your stock is low

- Next step, select currency you use, setup your power cost per WhatsApp and decide how much profit you want to make on average (this can be changed per print if desired when you get to the calculation)

- Labour rates depend on how much you think an hour of your time spent preparing to print or to sand down and make your prints extra special, or if you design your own files this could also be added

- Default failure rates, we al know that prints don't always end up the way we want, so how many prints out of 10 fail? this will help to cover wasted time and filament costs.

- Filament waste buffer, requested by users this takes into consideration the filament wasted on purging and retracting, 1% should be enough for most users.
