Step-by-Step Math: How We Calculate ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) Length

Exact formulas and linear density substitutions for ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) (1.04 g/cm³) on a Inland / Micro Center (Black Plastic) spool.

Step 1: Subtract Empty Spool Tare Weight1000.0g net filament
Formula: W_net = W_total - W_tare
Calculation: 1248g - 248g = 1000.0g net filament

Deducting the verified 248g empty tare weight of the Inland / Micro Center (Black Plastic) (Plastic) spool leaves the exact net plastic mass.

Step 2: Calculate 1.75mm Cross-Sectional Area0.024053 cm²
Formula: A = π × (d / 20)²
Calculation: 3.14159 × (0.0875)² = 0.024053 cm²

Volumetric cross-sectional area in square centimeters for 1.75mm filament.

Step 3: Calculate Printable Length in Meters & Feet399.8m (1311.7ft)
Formula: L = W_net / (ρ × A × 100)
Calculation: 1000g / (1.04 g/cm³ × 0.024053 cm² × 100) = 399.8m (1311.7ft)

Dividing net mass by the linear density of ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) (1.04 g/cm³) yields the printable length.
