Estimated printing time bug

Wanhao Duplicator 4

At slicing the estimated printing time is accurately calculated:

But Control Panel calculations are wrong:

Re: Estimated printing time bug

The Machine Control Panel estimate is based on the elapsed time for the actual print. In your case, it took 27 minutes to make it to 11%, so it's reasonable to guess that it might take another 3.5 hours for the print to finish.

In other words, it seems like your print took a really long time to get to 11%, so the estimate is increasing since that suggests it might take longer to finish.

Re: Estimated printing time bug

But the real printing time always matches the estimated in the slicing phase.
