How Much Electricity Does it Take to Print Something with a 3D Printer?
This video explores how much electricity is used when printing with a 3D printer and calculating the cost of that electricity. The cost will depend on how expensive electricity is in your area. Where I live the average cost of a kWh (Kilowatt-Hour) is 26.2 cents ($0.262).
I printed the medium size F-14 airplane for this test using HQA Black PLA filament.
