Simplify3d time vs actual time

Since the latest update 3.0.2, print jobs are not reporting time properly vs actual print time. See attached for reference. Images from a first time run of a design on 4 different Flashforge pro printers...all the same results. Had I known the actual print time would be this long, might of only ran 1 since I had other items to print today :(. Also, other items that I used to print in say 4 hours are taking much longer. Not sure how to export my profile file or I would post for review. Its like the recent update increased time of job plus thru off actual time reports in Simplufy3d preview.

I print at 2mm
4200mm
30 infill
with support when needed
ooze off

Much thanks

Re: Simplify3d time vs actual time

Here, jsut do it like this:

start script:
; **** Replicator 1 dual start.gcode ****
M73 P0 ; enable build progress
G162 X Y F3000 ; home XY maximum
G161 Z F1200 ; home Z minimum
G92 Z-5 ; set Z to -5
G1 Z0 ; move Z to 0
G161 Z F100 ; home Z slowly
M132 X Y Z A B ; recall home offsets
M135 T0 ; load right extruder offsets
G1 X150 Y-70 Z30 F9000 ; move to wait position right hand side of the table
G130 X20 Y20 Z20 A20 B20 ; lower stepper Vrefs while heating
M126 S[fan_speed_pwm]
M140 S[bed0_temperature] T0
M134 T0 ; stabilize bed temperature
M104 S[extruder0_temperature] T0
M104 S[extruder1_temperature] T1
M133 T0 ; stabilize right extruder temperature
M133 T1 ; stabilize left extruder temperature
G130 X127 Y127 Z40 A127 B127 ; default stepper Vrefs
G92 A0 B0 ; zero extruders
G1 Z0.4 ; position nozzle
G1 X110 Y-70 E25 F300 ; purge nozzle
M135 T1; left tool
G1 X120 Y-70 E25 F300; purge nozzle
M135 T0; right tool
G1 X120 Y-70 Z0.15 F1200 ; slow wipe
G1 X110 Y-70 Z0.5 F1200 ; lift
G92 A0 B0 ; zero extruders
M73 P1 ;@body (notify GPX body has started)
; **** end of start.gcode ****

end script:
; **** Replicator 1 dual end.gcode ****
M73 P100 ; end build progress
G1 Z150 F1000 ; send Z axis to bottom of machine
M140 S0 T0 ; cool down HBP
M104 S0 T0 ; cool down right extruder
M104 S0 T1 ; cool down left extruder
M127 ; stop blower fan
G162 X Y F3000 ; home XY maximum
M18 ; disable stepper
M72 P1 ; play Ta-Da song
; **** end of end.gcode ****

No other scripting being done.

Printing temp is 100 bed and 230 extruders (ABS printing only)
