Feature request: Layer durations graph to show predicted durations

Open Sophist-UK opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. No

Describe the solution you'd like Rather than show just the actual durations for layers already printed, also show predicted layer durations for all layers.

Describe alternatives you've considered None.

Additional context Hopefully self explanatory without graphics.

That's a really challenging feature request :) the printtimegenius plugin does a pretty good job of estimating the total print time (at least for the Marlin firmware) but doesn't provide estimates per layer afaik.

Could we use the comments in the gcode for this (even if the total of the individual layer estimates is different from PrintTimeGeniius)?

We could look into using the same backend estimation as PrintTimeGenius while processing one layer at a time, but I cannot imagine another good solution since not all slicers put a time estimate per layer into the gcode.

If the slicer doesn't put time estimates into the gcode, then you cant do it. But if the slicer does, then it would be great to see actual vs. estimated.
