Posted · saving time and material estimates with 3mf-file?

Hello,

is there any way to save printing time and material estimates in the 3mf-file?

When I have to print something again after some time, it'd be good to know how long the print will take and how much filament will be used. For that, I have to slice the job again, which is a bit annoying.

Thank you very much for any help.

    print_information = CuraApplication.getInstance().getPrintInformation()
    
    MAterial=0
    #   materialWeights
    for Mat in list(print_information.materialWeights):
    	MAterial=MAterial+Mat
    
    #   Print time
    P_Time = "%d d %d h %d mn"%(print_information.currentPrintTime.days,print_information.currentPrintTime.hours,print_information.currentPrintTime.minutes)

    Hello,

    thanks for the info, but I can't figure what to do with it. Where should I type this?

    Found the informations. Alas, they are in the g-code file, not in the 3mf:

     

    ;FLAVOR:Marlin
    ;TIME:78071
    ;Filament used: 63.3849m

    ;Layer height: 0.2
    ;MINX:9.815
    ;MINY:11.232
    ;MINZ:0.2
    ;MAXX:195.143
    ;MAXY:197.439
    ;MAXZ:34.8
    ;Generated with Cura_SteamEngine 4.6.1

     

    At the beginning of the g-code, TIME would be in seconds.

        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.
