Price My Print

You designed a great little thing. What should you charge for it? If you sell 3D prints, you know the question that stops everyone cold. Price too low and you're printing for free — worse, once Etsy takes its cut. Price too high and it never sells. Most makers price with a shrug and quietly lose money on every order. This guide hands you the fix. You'll build the exact pricing tool I use to charge for my own products — with AI, without writing a single line of code. What you'll build A pricing tool that runs right in your browser, tuned to your real costs: Reads your sliced files — drag in a .3mf (or just type the grams and time) and it knows what the print costs before you touch a calculator Counts everything — filament, machine time, your finishing minutes, the magnets and the box — the true cost to make one, no spreadsheet math in your head Fees built in — Etsy, Shopify, Amazon Handmade, in person. It knows each platform's cut, so the price is right for where you actually sell Three ways to price — a simple markup, a target margin, or the one everyone wishes they had: "just tell me the price that pays me $12 a sale" What you actually pocket — the number almost no maker calculates: your real take-home after fees and materials, with your machine time and labor correctly counted as money you keep Every channel side by side — the same item priced on Etsy vs your own store vs a market table, so you can see where you keep the most A price sheet — a clean one-page PDF for your own records What's inside A step-by-step guide (PDF) — every instruction, in order An interactive version (HTML) with one-click copy buttons for every prompt 13 copy-and-paste prompts that build the whole tool, plus setup and a day-to-day playbook Why makers love it Stop underpricing — see your true cost and real take-home before you list No scary math — you never calculate a "labor rate per hour" in your head; you describe your shop once and the tool does the arithmetic forever Private & local — runs 100% on your computer. No cloud, no logins, nothing shared. Ever No subscription — build it once, run it free, ask AI for new features whenever you want Who it's for Anyone selling 3D prints — Etsy sellers, market vendors, print-on-demand shops, side-hustlers — who's tired of guessing prices. Beginners welcome. If you can copy, paste, and describe your costs in plain English, you can do this. What you'll need A Mac, Windows, or Linux computer, and the Claude app (building software needs a paid Claude plan, ~$20/mo). Chrome or Edge recommended. The tool you build is then free to run forever on your own machine. A note on what you'll get Your tool will look a little different from the screenshots — and that's the point. Because you describe your costs and your materials, it gets tuned to you. Same smart pricing brain, your numbers. From my bench to your project. — Chris, OffDaBench
