PlasticTax Used AI
PlasticTax is a simple and easy-to-use way to calculate the cost of your 3D print. Enter the price per KG of filament, the weight of what you want to print, the electricity cost per kWh, and the power rating of your printer. The program will run the numbers for you and calculate the cost, all in a user-friendly way. Once you have calculated the cost, you can save the cost breakdown into a PDF file for future reference.

Timeline
Tried to build the app but it didn't work - you guys are just going to have to download the source code and run main.py after installing requirements.txt.
However, I did make it so that the settings.csv file is stored in a proper directory instead of just src/data/settings.csv.
This is probably my final devlog, since the app is pretty much done at this point :D.
This one took a while:
- Added an App Icon
- Made the font bundled into the app to avoid hassle when it comes time to ship the app
- Added the ability to change the theme (Dark or Light) and color theme (blue, dark blue, and green).
- Added the ability to change where the settings.csv file is stored and where the PDF reports are exported to.
Today, I added the PDF exporting feature, which is probably the best feature in this app, and it works great! Now the only thing left is to make the app install the libraries needed on its own as well as the font.
- Fixed electricity cost bug treating electricity cost as dollars instead of cents
- Added a settings menu with ability to change default values :D
- Added help tooltips for everything There's still a bug where the defaults don't get deleted in the CSV, looking to fix that next.
Create the basic GUI for the app, along with calculation functionality.
