The easiest way would be to include screen shots of your slicer, that way people can also see where the settings are located, slicers like orca/bambu can be quite annoying to find what you are looking for
In both bambu and orca this would be done using a modifier.
I am currently using bambu slicer, previously used cura & orca.
I ride an orca with step ons and feel personally attacked. lol
I can just set the 'Time Cost' value in Orca (under printer settings) to 1 and 'Price' (under Material settings) to 30, and it'll display the price whenever I slice something.

For anyone wanting to mess around for free, without need for expensive software or any out of pocket risk financially, I HIGHLY recommend TinkerCAD. Browser-based, no downloads, auto saving, and a beautiful and intuitive UI/UX.
To create the 3D models, I recommend him to start with Tinkercad. It is accessible in the browser and free, and also don't need a particular powerful computer.
Tinkercad doesn't get much love here, but it's so freaking simple and learning to use little tricks like this one opens up a lot in what you do with your printer but doesn't require a ton of time learning modeling software ins and outs.
Most of the shapes were created in TinkerCAD with some use of Blender to curve the text, all assembly as such was done in Orca Slicer.
I still end up doodling in TinkerCAD like it’s MS Paint for 3D.
