Topic: length of print time increasing during printing

Using S2  extruder 200, bed 100, ABS 1.75,  on almost every print the time increases.
Anyone have any ideas why?  Others having same problem?

Re: length of print time increasing during printing

Are you referring to the time estimate indicated in Repetier or just how long a print takes?

Yes.  in many cases it has increased by almost half again from when the print starts.

Keyword here is "estimate". You can adjust the feed/flow rates to speed up the print if you prefer a quick print. But speed does not always equal quality.
However, by adjusting the flow rates, the time given is still just an estimate. Ever since I updated RH to 95F, the timeframe has become more accurate. May just be a coincidence, but it has been noticeable.
