Weigh your filament spool before and after a print to get precise material usage.
Use a power meter to measure your printer's actual power consumption.
Keep track of failed prints to calculate a more accurate failure rate.
Include all post-processing time in your labor calculations.
Remember to account for other consumables like nozzles, build plates, and maintenance.
