Cura 4.7 print times way off

Posted · Cura 4.7 print times way off

Started using 4.7 a few days ago.  On the 4.6 version my print estimation times were always within a few minutes of actual print time. 

I noticed my first few small prints printed much faster than 4.7 estimated, like 20 minutes to an hour faster, on 2-5 hour estimated prints. 

Finally did a bigger print last night: Cura 4.7 estimated 11 hours 36 min

Actual print time: 7 hours 38 min. 

This is on an ender 5. 

 

it seems the estimates get further off with longer prints.

 

Im glad the actual print time is faster than the estimate, but it was pretty accurate in 4.6 and I would rather have it be accurate. 

Im mostly posting this for the Cura developers, as I dont think there is anything I can change to make it more accurate. But if there is let me know, thanks

        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.
