Yes, cura 4.6.1 with exact same settings for the print that took my Ender 5 15h to print, quoted 15h 11 min while old Cura (4.0) said 8h 48 min.
So upgraded Cura is almost spot on except for being a little pessimistic, which is better than overpromising 🙂

Hi! Yes I guess I was a bit quick with my review. Turns out that when I printed the model it actually took 15h 1min instead of stated 8h 48 min as stated in Cura 4.0 so I guess the difference is that the newer version is better at calculating the theoretical time. When I used Cura 4.6.1 my printing times have always actually been lower then the actual times stated. up to 30 min faster sometimes.

I have found that using the same settings for Cura 4.6.1 compared to Cura 4.0 I get extramely different results in print-times.
I have some large quite complicated models that I managed to get down to 17 h in latest version of Cura.
This was after setting speeds to 100 mm/s, no infill, layer heights of 0.24 and removing jerk and acceleration -control.
With all this Cura still ends up at slow speeds where it needn't be.
Using settings in Cura 4.0 of layer height 0.2, infill 3% and no jerk/acc control took me down to 8h 48 min!
What hidden settings have I missed? I've been through all of the settings up and down researching it but when printing the sliced files from Cura 4.0 I get really good result at about half the time.

Interesting. I googled this, as I suddenly are starting to have the same issue. Since this problem does not seem to be a version issue, did have a problem before with this version of Cura (4.11.0), I think it must be a different issue.
My latest files are quite large and I also have saved a project that I come back to where I place objects to print one at a time. Since the project file is quite large with a lot of files that are kept out of the print the project-file has grown in size. Seems to me the issue might be that large files or files are not being properly downloaded to the card before ejecting them.
