ABS density and cost per gram

ABS density from Bambu Lab and Polymaker datasheets, the price per gram from Bambu Lab's store, and the plastic in a 250 g enclosure lid.

Density, by datasheet

ABSBambu Lab TDS1.05 g/cm³ · 396 m per kg
PolyLite ABSPolymaker1.12 g/cm³ · 371 m per kg

Metres per kilogram of 1.75 mm filament, worked out from each density: a denser plastic puts fewer metres on the same kilogram, so a slicer that reports length needs the density of the roll you load.

Price per gram, by maker

The plastic is one line of a quote. Power, machine hours, your time and failed prints are the rest, and the cost calculator prices them all.
