I installed the plug in and my settings matched you screenshot for the most part so I assume these are the most common values for the Creality printers. Oddly when loaded the Folger Tech printer the values were similar to the bogus ones. I updated those to match the creality ones and the print time went from 2 hrs 9 min to 2 hrs 46 min. After enabling the plug in the CR10S actually is reporting a longer print time from 3 hrs 6 min to 3 hrs 36 min. I ran the gcode through an online viewer, it has it 3hrs 46min. I suppose the times are correct and the short Folger time was bogus due to garbled values. Here is a link to the online viewer it anyone is interested. http://gcode.ws/

I had Version 3.5.1 installed on my laptop and for a quick comparison sliced the same model with the same settings at 1 hr. 40 min. I was just using the Draft .2mm for all my slicing comparisons. Quality wise I'm not sure there is much difference in the print outcomes. I assume the developers are aware of the increased print times, not so much the community. @Duck, I will look into the firmware vs. printer settings when I get some extra time. So in short, the settings are hidden for the everyday user and I would have to dig through the firmware then go into the "Advanced" settings in Cura and match those. After that the print times would return to something more reasonable?

I recently upgraded to 4.3 and it seems my print times have gotten longer but only related to Creality based printers. Is there some hidden settings that is causing this or has anyone else noticed this? I have an older Folger Tech printer and the print times are roughly half of the CR10S. For a simple test I created a Custom FFF printer to match the size of my CR10S, and after slicing the same model print agrees with the Folger Tech. I also tried the Ender 3 and it matches the times of the CR10. I've reviewed the settings several times, mostly minor differences, tweaked a few back and forth, etc., just cannot figure out what causing this. I've attached a file for ref. the Folger time is 2hrs. 9min. and Creality printers 3hrs. 6min. Not sure if this is related to the upgrade as I don't print that many parts/use the printer that much. Hope someone can explain this as it's driving me batty. -- thanks Output Bevel Gear 42T.stl
