Hi all, I've noticed that the estimated time for an object to print that Repetier Host gives is dramatically different than the actual time it takes to print. Is there a way to sync those two up? It's mostly on longer print times. I was given an estimate of 2.5 hours the other night, and the actual time was closer to 5

All good.. sorry if it sounded whiney, it wasn't the credit factor - its the 'we're back at the beginning and we're still on the first page!' thing wink

Anyway, onward, upward, all that stuff.... smile

I thought it was under, config - Printer settings - Printer tab ???

Did you read through the thread first at all ? wink Pretty sure this is what I said back 3rd post...  I guess you just repeated it for completeness again wink wink

Nah, it was more the fact that we can loop around again in a thread in less than a day thats still only a single page of posts wink

But yeah, a possible solution would be to look at the average size of the object and a % time decrease based on that.  Bigger objects are typically closer to constant velocity than small objects.

It says "ADD TO COMP. PRINTING TIME __ [%] (default is set to 8%)

Might want to check to see what yours is set to.

Add 8% to a 30 minute job = 32.4 Minutes
Add 8% to a 5 hour job (300 minutes) = 5.4 hours (324 Minutes)

Weird, my print times are always spot on.

Mine used to be...but since upgrading I am getting wrong times as well.  about 8 minutes longer on what it reports will be a 44 minute runtime.

Sounds bizarre since the program knows how fast its going during all prints and moves; One would think it would be spot on every time.

I've given up on trying to estimate the times. Since these printers are not speed demons anyway,  just hit print and come back after me nap.   Lol

Pretty sure it assumes constant velocity, which is not the case. Without rewriting RH, no.

No longer an option as RH has gone closed-source . You could edit 0.90 versions, or pester 'repetier' about it on Github... But I believe the solution is tweaking the completion time scaling factor that does already exist under printer-settings.
