NaN build estimates

I seem to be getting NaN for my build estimates fairly consistently since updating to 1.1.0.

Edit: Seems to happen regardless of scaling, I tried it at 25% in the screenshot after full size and upscaled didn't work either

Re: NaN build estimates

Uncheck Supports G2/G3 that should do.

I'll be sure to try that, thanks.

Also, I just noticed this:
G2 X99.526 Y120.095 I-13.503 J-24.015 Enan F1560

when printing this:

That can't be right, can it?

Re: NaN build estimates

wbailey - thanks for the report. I confirmed that this is a known bug with v1.1.0, but only appears when G2/G3 commands are turned on. We will try to have this fixed for the next update. And sir-mike hit the nail on the head, uncheck G2/G3 commands for a temporary fix.

Re: NaN build estimates

If I've turned off g2/g3 support should I turn on arc compensation? What does that do?

Re: NaN build estimates

Arc compensation maintains the small linear segments that make up a circular arc, but it expands them outward to compensate for the polygonal nature of the hole. The end result is that the inner diameter of your 3D printed hole will now be much closer to the intended hole size in the CAD software. It's basically a better solution for firmware that does not support G2/G3 commands.
