Filament

Filament Length ↔ Weight Calculator

Estimate grams on a cut length or meters remaining from a known net weight.

Inputs

Used only when Custom is selected. Supplier values are best.

How the calculation works

Mass = length × π × (diameter ÷ 2)² × density, with units converted from mm³ to cm³. Reverse the formula for length.

How to use this result

Density varies by formulation, additives, moisture, and manufacturer. Preset values are typical engineering estimates, not batch certificates. For inventory work, weigh the filament directly when possible.

Example

The same 100 m length weighs much more at 2.85 mm than at 1.75 mm because cross-sectional area changes with diameter squared.
