Time Calibration for Printers

What if you had a "Calibrate Print Time" option. Where you send a Test print to the printer, and track the time on it, then use that time to estimate any prints from that point forward

I know lots of printers are different, and it would be nice to have a more accurate time for prints

More accurate estimates for print times would be very nice, so I heartily second this feature request.

+1
This would also help compensate when users change acceleration settings and other variables that impact print speed.

Re: Time Calibration for Printers

It would be more easily implemented if the printer profile section allowed entry of the printer's acceleration/jerk settings for each axis and then ran calculations that took those settings into account.

Would take longer to generate previews but those would be more accurate known values than "Print this one thing and tell me how long it took, and apply that on some kind of scale to all other prints even though different objects will take different amounts of time because the printer will accelerate/change direction differently from object to object".

Re: Time Calibration for Printers

Is really a MUST ! Very bad the guesswork estimating the extra time every print will last.
I don't know why version 4.0 has not adressed this issue.
Please implement a time correction factor, please!
Thanks!
