Filament length ⇄ weight converter

Slicers report filament in metres, spools are sold by the kilogram. Convert between the two for PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, TPU, nylon and more, in 1.75 or 2.85 mm. Weigh a half-used spool to see how many grams and metres are left before you start a long print.

About 370 g left — roughly 124 m.

How to use Filament converter

  1. Step 1: Choose the material and filament diameter.

  2. Step 2: Type a weight or a length — the other updates as you type.

  3. Step 3: Weigh your spool to see how much filament is left.

Frequently asked questions

How many metres are on a 1 kg spool?

About 330 m of 1.75 mm PLA, 325 m of PETG and 400 m of ABS. With 2.85 mm filament it’s roughly a third of that.

Why do different materials give different lengths?

They have different densities: ABS is lighter than PLA, so a kilogram of it is longer.

How heavy is an empty spool?

Typically 150–250 g depending on the brand — weigh an empty one of the same brand for the best answer.
