Statistics Screen

I doubt many hobby users have much use for the Statistics screen, but it could be very useful to a business conducting 3D Printing.

As a business, I need to know how much to charge for the printer usage on a job.  It comes down to amortisation of the cost over time, and adding in cost of maintenance.  But the printers are not necessarily in use 24 x 7.   And  pertinent is the success rate of prints.
You currently have 3 graphs: Efficiency, Materials, Job Success.

For all 3 graphs, I would like to see the ability to get the same statistic averaged over selected printers (not just the one in view).  The time window needs to be extended to cover a full 12 months.

Job success is presented as a stacked Bar Graph, it would be better presented as a Pie chart covering the time window selected with average success rate. (This is and Alternative to the Stacked Bar, not to replace it.)

RE: Statistics Screen

Good idea, but both pie and stacked bars are worst idea for presentation - plain normal bars with the same base with percentages and raw values work much better.

See my GitHub and printables.com for some 3d stuff that you may like.

Speaking for yourself of course. For commercial use, a single figure for successful  prints vs unsuccessful is all that is needed to help determine the charge for printer usage. This along with overall usage rate over time.

A set of bars just complicates the calculation.

A stacked bar is pretty much useless.

simplest is best.
