Total Printer Hours Incorrect
Ive had my printers for about 6 months, and noticed the machine hours for how long its worked seems to be way off. Its total time adds up to about 325 days.
obviously this isn't physically possible. so whats going on with this? anyone else have this happen?
Re: Total Printer Hours Incorrect
they messed up running hours awhile ago. its sad, but at least I wont feel like a junkie 😀 even the filament used its correct.
I have a Prusa,therefore I research.

Best indicator/count are the empty spool rolls. I was shocked how much kg of plastic went through my two Prusa machines.

I hoped for 25 but you can easily triple it in my case. And I don't even want to start count how much I spent on it 😉

I get what you mean. I just counted the rolls I have still full.. 32pla random 12 others... junkie....we need 3D printers anonymous.

Re: Total Printer Hours Incorrect
Prusa got back to me about it, said that it may have no been reset when it went through their testing.
my only concern with it was how it would affect resale value if i choose to do so in the future.
unfortunatly for me, i can't keep track by counting my spools, as i have 4 MK3's
i also haven't kept all my spools since i bought them.
spools might be good to keep track of how much filament you've printed, but it doesn't keep track of how much your printer is working, some prints are set for speed, some are set for quality. and that can change how much your printer is working, even if its putting out the same amount of plastic.
RE: Total Printer Hours Incorrect
Prusa is full of S$%^. I had XYZ printing printers which had accurate hour count, which was important for me because I print two colors. Had to feed second color during printing, no pause function. PRUSA hours or days or whatever are way off, but as my print now pauses for filament changes I do not really care, its a minor annoyance.
Can Joe Prusa count??? no 🙁 builds a good working printer 🙂 when I don't screw up
PRUSA love to hate it, but what else is there? PRUSA is like marriage, one day everything is fine, the next day the police are taking you to jail for assault.

Lets face it Joe Prusa is the Donald Trump of 3D printers, great product with a lot of lies.

ok not a great product, TRUMP or PRUSA, vote here 🙂
RE: Total Printer Hours Incorrect
Same issue is still around if anyone is interested. According to my total cumulative timer it says I have been printing for 24 days 3 hours. This comes out to 20 hours every single day since I put it together. My best calculation is about half that. I haven't run any overnight prints so I only print a max of 12-14 hours a day and some days I haven't printed anything. I have only gone through maybe 2.5 to 3 spools of filament. I was going to use that tracker for maintenance scheduling but looks like it is about half off. I will keep track of it over the next week and see if there is just some multiplier is off by but doubt it is that simple since Prusa hasn't fixed it after years of issues. Oh and looks like it says 884 meters of filament which comes to about 2.6 spools so that seems right on.

My printer just does not have time to relax. I often type. Over time, I somehow got used to the norm.
