rectangular brim footprint calculator online

Use rectangular brim footprint calculator online for part x mm, part y mm, brim mm. Geometric or extrusion estimate; printer behavior and material properties must be measured. Example values are not recommended machine settings.

How to use it

Enter part x mm. Set part y mm, brim mm. Select Calculate and check the labeled output. Copy or download the JSON result.

Options and example settings

OptionChoices / valueExample default
part x mmMain input. Positive values. 40
part y mmOption. Positive values. 30
brim mmOption. Zero or positive values. 5

Calculation method

footprint_x_mm = part_x_mm+2*brim_mm; footprint_y_mm = part_y_mm+2*brim_mm; added_area_mm2 = (part_x_mm+2*brim_mm)*(part_y_mm+2*brim_mm)-part_x_mm*part_y_mm (^ means exponentiation; trig functions ending in d use degrees).

Worked examples

Apply rectangular brim footprint calculator to the case below, keeping the displayed units and assumptions. Geometric or extrusion estimate; printer behavior and material properties must be measured. Example values are not recommended machine settings.

Rectangular Brim Footprint Calculator — worked case

Settings: part y mm: 30; brim mm: 5

Input:

40

Calculated result for these inputs:

Output:

{
  "footprint_x_mm": 50,
  "footprint_y_mm": 40,
  "added_area_mm2": 800
}

Choose the right tool

Match the calibration convention to the firmware and slicer. Rotation distance and steps per millimeter change in opposite directions. Flow, shrinkage and fit estimates require measurements from the actual machine and material.

Limitations and common mistakes

  • Geometric or extrusion estimate; printer behavior and material properties must be measured. Example values are not recommended machine settings.
  • Use the displayed unit in every field. Ratios and percentages are different inputs; percent fields use values such as 25 rather than 0.25.
