I received the Ultimaker 2 extended a couple months ago and mainly printed smaller objects. Today I began to print the largest model I've made. Its roughly 22cm high and 10 cm wide. In Cura, the predicted print time was 11 hours. It has now been printing for 3 hours and the estimated time is 66 hours! I set my speed to 100 mm/s with the only exception being bottom which I set for 20 mm/s.
Should I rely on the Cura estimate or the printers estimate? How could the two estimates be so off?
