I find that my print times take 10-20% longer then estimated by the software. Thats single and batch (20+) prints. I have prints that go upwards of 30-40 "estimated" hours taking up the entire bed. I would love to have a more accurate predicted time for quoting and scheduling prints.

I did pick my printer in the original configuration assistant but it didn't show the platform. I went back and did the config assistant again and it showed up. Not sure why but it is working now. Must be a glitch in the software. Hope this will be fixed and more printer STLs added soon. If I get to...

I agree. I have a heated glass bed and most things stick very well (very smoothly) once i use a brim but supports are proving (very) difficult. If we could just have the first couple of layers solid it would be a big help! You can already do that by adding a raft, which prints a solid layer (depend...

I would like to see an option for printing raft for just were the support material touches the bed. I found using a raft helps with getting the support material to not warp with ABS or not break off the bed when it gets tall and thin.

I noticed that also.

I hope that they keep posting more videos on how to better use all the features.
