3D Printing Cost Calculator

Made a 3D Printing Cost Calculator for the Mak3rSpace website. It is made in Flutter so that it can be deployed as an Android as well as an iOS app. Cost is calculated in terms of the weight of the material and total printing time.

Under the hood, the calculator is powered by a machine learning model trained on a large number of STL files. Each file was sliced using a slicer, and the slicing output was directly mapped to the print cost using a physics approximation model. The core model is a Convolutional Neural Network with a neural network prediction head, completely designed and trained by me.

I had to switch to a Flutter dev channel instead of the stable channel to compile a web app.
