In Cura (older version) I print much faster than in Cura 4.11

Posted (edited) · In Cura (older version) I print much faster than in Cura 4.11

Hi everybody.

Lately I 'moved' from Creality Slicer 1.2.3 (which is based on some older version of Cura) to Cura 4.11.

I wanted to print the base from this drill stand.

In the older Cura (Creality Slicer 1.2.3) estimated printing time was around 7 hours.

In Cura 4.11 estimated printing time was around 18 hours!!!

Why is this happening? How can I make the Cura 4.11 create faster code, as fast as the older version's?

 

In both, layer height and fill density was the same.

 

In the older version I use the profile quoted in the end of my post.

In Cura 4.11 I use no profile, I have simple selected Esun PLA plus as material.

(printer: Ender 3 Pro)

    Posted (edited) · In Cura (older version) I print much faster than in Cura 4.11

    Ok, I think I found it.

    I had selected as printing material eSun PLA +.

    I changed to Generic PLA and time reduced to 6 hours and 10 minutes!! (in 4.11)

     

    I suppose some parameter in eSun PLA + must be the reason...

      • Introducing Universal Cura Projects in the UltiMaker Cura 5.7 beta
        Strap in for the first Cura release of 2024! This 5.7 beta release brings new material profiles as well as cloud printing for Method series printers, and introduces a powerful new way of sharing print settings using printer-agnostic project files! Also, if you want to download the cute dinosaur card holder featured below, it was specially designed for this release and can be found on Thingiverse!

      • 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.
