Print Time Estimation wrong

Daid can say for sure, but I think it's because it doesn't take into account acceleration factors which mean that the average speed for every move is lower than the nominal print speed - and for short segments it can be quite a lot lower.

Kisslicer allows you to specify what acceleration you are using, in order to better calculate print times. It's not perfect, but it's usually pretty close.

    Illuminarti is spot on here. The times calculated in Cura do not account for acceleration, which can cause anything between a 20% and a 100% error. It's pretty hard to estimate printing times, unless you fully simulate the machine (which I might do some day, if I have one of those mad-coding days)

    I am disappointed Daid.

    So Daid if you just multiply the estimated time by 1.6, the estimation error will be about +-30% or less. I am assuming the uncorrected calculated times are always less than the actual ones, as it happens with NetFabb.

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
