ℹ️ Weigh the spool, subtract the empty spool (often ~200 g): the tool estimates the remaining length from density and diameter. 100% local.

Estimate remaining filament

Enter the current total weight and the empty spool weight, pick diameter and material: the tool gives the remaining length and net filament weight.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an empty spool weigh?

Often 180–250 g depending on brand. Check the exact value — a wrong one skews the result.

Why choose the material?

Density varies (PLA 1.24, PETG 1.27, ABS 1.04…) and changes the length for the same weight.

Is it accurate to the metre?

It is a good estimate; real diameter and tolerances cause a slight difference.
