Build time adjustment

Hiya,

Is there, if any, a front end adjustment to achieve a more accurate build time.

Current print is reported to take 21hrs but when I calculate from it from time spent against % completed its 32 hrs.

If there is, could some one tell me how and what values and where to get those values.

Much appreciated

Becky.

Re: Build time adjustment

Because of acceleration and jerk settings in your firmware, some models will be more accurate than others. Here's a graph of estimated (X axis) vs actual (Y axis) print times for the last 75 or so prints I've done. The solid line is a linear trend line. As you can see, even if I had a correction factor to apply, it would only be accurate for models with small print times (under 3 hours).

Wow.

Nice graph. Gues the only solution is to calculate it from an hour into the build.

Most prints are 5hrs +
Longest, 32 hours. Although this one highlighted the issue by being off by 7hrs.

Thank you though. But if there was something to get at least closer, that would be appreciate it. :-)

Re: Build time adjustment

Wow, awesome graph dsegel! I'm sure the results are also VERY machine dependent, but it's neat to see the data.
