In creality print 7 it tells me the weight and length of the filament that the model will use and it says how much the filament needed will cost , but how do i tell it what i paid for the 1KG reel so it can give a realistic cost for the model , where do I set the filament price per KG
Cheers

I can’t remember but in earlier versions of Creality Print you could actually type in the filament cost per roll. Prices vary with each roll so you’d have to average.
In Creality Print 7.0.0.4127 I found this but haven’t tried to set it yet:
Click on the pencil icon:
In the Filament Profile you can also add the price of each roll. You’d have to add each time for different prices:
Click on the filament and then the pencil icon:
Hope that helps… 
Be forewarned: the filament usage calculator inherited from Bambu Studio / OrcaSlicer - which Creality Print v6 and later are based on - is effectively broken. It is barely usable even with a 0.4 mm nozzle, and on the K2 Plus with a 0.8 mm nozzle it is so far off that the results are meaningless.
This is not a dig at Creality Print. The underlying algorithm is flawed industry-wide across all printers that rely on this approach. If you look at the OrcaSlicer GitHub issues, you will find extensive discussion of the problem. It was a neat idea, but because it does not affect print quality, it has never received much attention or sustained effort.
As a result, the cost calculator - while conceptually appealing - has never worked reliably because it depends on accurate filament usage estimates.
thank you both for your replies they were very usefull
