Creality Ender 3 printer power consumption? Anyone have any idea how much power it takes to run a Creality Ender 3 3D printer every day for several hours at a time? Like what does it eat up per hour? A rough estimate of power use per hour would be nice, then I can figure out how much it costs me. Can anyone help me?
I'm currently measuring the power usage of my Ender 3. It used about 0.5&nbsp;kWh for 4 hours of printing. With 2 heat ups (about 280&nbsp;W each). So approximately 120&nbsp;W average.
Or 0.12&nbsp;kWh per hour.

Assumed your printing 12&nbsp;h a day you're using 1.5&nbsp;kWh a day. That translates into a cost of 0.43&nbsp;€ a day in electricity (0.3&nbsp;€/kWh).

When you're using your printer every day for an average of 12&nbsp;h. You'll be using about 525&nbsp;kWh a year or 157&nbsp;€ in electricity at 0.3&nbsp;€/kWh.
