Posted · Estimate print time in CURA (3.4.1)

Hi everyone,

Just completed a large and long print job (for me anyway) with multiple parts. 

I noted the estimated print time when I sliced the parts and then the actual print time from the printer when the parts completed.  CURA used to be rather inaccurate for estimating print times but 3.4.1 appears to have improved a LOT.

On average, over 34 components, raging in time (actual) from 11 min to 4h37m the difference was 8% low.  The greatest error was for the short print times, that 11min print was estimated at 4min (175% difference) while the 4h37m print was out by only 3% (all estimates were low).

I think this is a great improvement and the estimates now give a workable estimate of the print time.

Hope this helps others.

Best,

Eric

        Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.

        (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.
