LCD Screen Print Times, Which Is It?

Loving my MK3 so far, using it a ton (my statistics say Total filament used: 688.54m Total print time: 34d:15h) and I've not had a single failed print (other than where it was clearly user error).

On to my question. At the end of my prints I see two print times (see below image for this example). On this example, one says 15:43 while the scrolling screen says 13 hours 46 minutes, does anyone know what these two times represent?

Thanks!

The scrolling screen, lower line, is the real print time. The other is the time since you have started the print.

Thanks for the response!

So, this may mean it was extruding for 13:46:00 but total print time was 15:43:00. Would that mean the extra 2 hours was mostly spent on tracking between print locations and other things (calibration, warming up, etc)?

Thanks again.

Isn´t it the printer uptime right in the middle?
And the one beneath the total print time.

Now that you say it, I started this print almost 16 hours ago, so that must be it!

So, if you printed something that took 5 hours to print but it took you another 2 hours to get to the printer to remove it, the top would say 7 hours (7 hours since you started the print) while the scrolling would show 5 hours (the time it took to actually print).

I think that's the answer! Thanks for the help!
