- The sample four-color articulated dragon shows 48.2 g of purge waste—34% of its 142.7 g total filament.
Field notes
The page includes four-color AMS and one-color sample projects, plus printer presets for Bambu Lab, Creality, and Prusa machines. Its worked dragon example separates 94.5 g of model filament from 48.2 g of purge and itemizes electricity, printer wear, labor, packaging, and Etsy fees. The site says uploaded files are parsed in-browser with JSZip; it also links to a 60-calculator suite spanning 3D printing, laser, CNC, and craft workflows.
