Drying and storage

Filament dryer energy calculator

Estimate electricity used in one drying session from its average power and runtime.

Estimate a session

Enter the average power in watts and the session length in hours. Nameplate wattage gives a continuous-power estimate; measured session-average wattage better reflects heater cycling.



Formula: kWh = watts × hours ÷ 1000. This is an estimate based on the values you enter.
