Where the default values come from: Power according to manufacturer measurements from Bambu Lab and Prusa (average while printing, not the peak during heating up). Electricity price: average for households in Germany according to the BDEW electricity price analysis 2026. The wear allowance and the failed-print surcharge are assumptions, so it is best to enter your own values. It is most accurate with a plug-in power meter.
