Estimate build time with material needed #1766
Comments
Unfortunately, Slic3r cannot estimate build time without knowing the motion implementation of your firmware, including its settings (speed/acceleration/jerk etc.)... |
Can the time estimate be based on the mm/s settings within Slic3r? |
@RenaeMacLeod Yes, but frankly it's going to be inaccurate anyway and most gcode host programs (like pronterface) already do this. |
Cura contains a simplified Planner code from the Marlin firmware, albeit with the hard coded acceleration values :-) Still the time estimates given by Cura are quite precise. |
@bubnikv I would rather not put any code from Marlin into Slic3r myself. ;) |
Hi @lordofhyphens , I just want to check what I'm doing wrong since my UI is not showing the estimated time after gcode export. |
@thiagopeixoto16 move it and open a pull request :) Should be easy to find the code that does the display. One feature at a time though; I have been known to implement the top line feature request and ignore additional asks (closing the issue). |
Thanks for you reply! @lordofhyphens You're completely correct, in this way we can have different issues for different requests. About your "DIY" recommendation, I'll ask someone who know coding near me, as I told you before I'm not that guy and certainly will create more problems than solutions trying to change something :) |
so is there still no way to get an Slic3r give you the print time estimate?? |
After slicing, read the estimated print time in the status window in the
lower right of the window?

It would be very helpful to have Slic3r calculate an estimated build time, along with the amount of material needed, and save it to the GCode file above or below the 'filament used' comment. It would be a bonus to see this at the bottom of the program beside the 'GCode exported' message.
