Copies the job details and price. Your costs and profit stay out of the client quote.

How the price is worked out

Material: (filament + extra purge grams) × roll cost ÷ 1,000.

Total cost: material + print hours × hourly cost + (colours − 1) × extra colour cost + setup / finishing.

Client price: total cost × (1 + markup ÷ 100), rounded up.

Profit: client price − total cost. Profit margin is profit ÷ client price.

One job per quote. Totals exclude VAT, delivery and any costs you have not entered. Use a weighted average roll cost when colours have different filament prices.
