Initial
- Dr. Joshua Pearce's paper - Feb 2017 - [1]
- Energy consumption of 3D printing - based on paper above - 1 KwHr/100 grams of print
- 10kwhr/kg - or 50 cents per pound energy of printing cost assuming grid electricity. Energy costs are significant.
- Precious Plastic extruder - energy cost -
- Cost of ABS resin -
Filament Maker Efficiency
- 5kW for 1 kg in 1 Hr = 25 cents per lb of filament made at 10 cent/kwhr energy cost. [2]
