Topic: Manually setting temperature messes up display time

I don't understand why this happens, or more impo tortantly, how to prevent it...

I'm printing filament at 230C in my Da Vinci Junior 1.0, by decoding the 3w file to gcode, changing the commands to set nozzle temperature, then converting back into 3w. I'm using a Windows version of Threedubber to encode and decode.

This works, except the printer them shows the job as a 1 minute job, and after that minute, says 100% done, even though it happily carries on printing, even if it's a 10 hour print.

Is there something I should be doing to prevent this happening on the display? I know I could make a note of the time needed for the print as displayed on the software, and put it on a note next to the printer, but I'd rather have a correct display.

Re: Manually setting temperature messes up display time

The estimated print time is in the front of the gcode. (x will be numbers in your file.)
' Print time= xxx
' total-filament= xxx
' extruder filament=xxx

Check the gcode before and after Threedubber conversion to see if Threedubber carry over the information correctly.

Ahhhh... when I'm decoding it, there's two print times in the file... I guess that's a bug in this version of Threedubber?

Re: Manually setting temperature messes up display time

Sadly not. I've since discovered Threedubber sets filament length to 1 when it encrypts, and that's causing my issue. Unfortunately I don't know enough to change the source code.
