Delay of printing

[JohnHue]

Your printer is not faulty and there’s nothing you can do about it. It’s a known issue :

Update On-Machine Job with Actual Print Time

After a job prints, it would be nice if the estimated print time that is shown on the machine could be updated to use the actual print time. This way, re-running a job from the machine would show a more accurate time estimate, which I have found can vary pretty dramatically on long prints. I just finished a job where the estimate was off by several hours (took about 25% longer than estimated) Since I know it will be used again at some point, but likely not for a while, having the information …

Print Time Accuracy

Am I the only one that notices that PreForm is pretty bad at calculating the print time for a build for the Form2 but pretty good at calculating it for the Form1+ ? Form2 calculation is typically 1 hour less than actual on the Form2 but pretty much right on for the same build on a Form1+. That is to say, the calculation is the same either way but the Form2 consistently takes longer to build.

Wild difference in printing times between old Preform, new Preform and Reality!

So my company started another round of printing 2 days ago. I printed two pieces and they came out fine, and almost exactly the right amount of time Preformed claimed. One was 7 hrs, other was 3 hrs. So I loaded up my last and biggest piece, it said 17hrs. That kinda blew my mind because I had printed that piece before, and save for a few minor changes…it’s the same piece. This was on version 2.7.x. I contacted support to ask them what could be causing the difference…last time I printed t…

It’s good to talk about it again though, I think we’d all want this accuracy issue to be resolved
