well thank you for your time and effort explaining it to me. 🙂

Ok I understand you now. So you suggest to let the printer make an estimation of the printing time instead of the slicer. I will check it out. thx.

Thank you for your suggestion. (Yes it does have a display) I dont see how that should help or solve my problem. I dont care about the time on the display. I just need to know when I have to set an alarm to go and retrieve my 3D print. Would there a time estimation on the display like: Print estimation time: 8h34min ? Because the printer is already showing the remaining time and shows in the end how long it took to print and I'd like to match this time better with the time estimation in cura. I assume that the time on the display is correct. So when it says 5h28min on the dispaly, it took that amount of time. So why should I want to change that number in the printer? I will make a test and run a timer at the same and check if my assumption is correct.

I tried this plugin. When I insert the numbers more or less correctly it changes from 4h13min to 4h19min. When I remember correctly I had more problem with this plugin in failing prints than actually solving my problem.

Hello I use Cura 4.6 for slicing my stl's for my custom delta (kossel like) delta 3D printer. The time estimation of cura is wrong. The estimation is too quick, or the printer needs more time to print than predicted by cura. (If it estimate 8h it can be that it prints 12h) I tried also 4.4 and 4.7 which I had the same problem. Although its not a crucial problem it's still unconvienent not to know when the print finish more or less. The printer runs with marlin 1.1.9 and as I said for now I use cura 4.6. I activated acceleration and jerk control in the cura profile and used the numbers which I use in marlin. But the time estimation is still wrong. Is there anything I could try to improve the time estimation? Any help or hints are highly appreciated.
