Printing speed is not as it claim
Hi,
First, I'll admit I am new in the world of 3D printing, so the usual printing speeds are unknow to me.
Second, I'm very satisfied with the MK3 I got this week. 🙂
➡ Now, I just don't understand why the estimated times doesnt match the real printing times one the bundled 3D models.
I tried a couple of them, and it always take me around 70% more time it claim it should.
- Whistle claim 25min, took me 39min
- pug buddy claim 1h30, took me 2h50
- PRUSA text bar claim 15, took 24min
I've seen on this forum i'm not the only one, but nothing more.
Firmware 1.3.2-231 , flow 100%, speed 100%, mode: normal
I'm pretty sure these prints have been tested, so why is it so inaccurate for me ❓
Re: Printing speed is not as it claim
PrusaControl is behind in it's version of Slic3r that it uses. If you get the latest Slic3r Prusa edition the time estimates are damn near perfect.

Actualy, I was talking about the very own Gcodes provided by Prusa, on the SD card with my MK3 and the gummy dinos.
The files are all named something like : PRUSA_WHISTLE_200µm_25MIN.GCODE
No slicer involved there...wich make me think a fully and correctly functionnal mk3 should print it around the same time... ❓

print speeds and acceleration defaults have been changed in the recent firmware for a variety of reasons, I'm guessing thats where the difference comes from. They *were* fairly accurate about 5 revisions ago.
but ultimately I would advise you to think more in terms of print SPEED, not TIME.
ie:
"Can I print this part in 1 hour?" vs "Will this print complete successfully with enough detail at 200 mm/s? 100 mm/s? 50 mm/s?"
Re: Printing speed is not as it claim
Are you in Stealth Mode?
Stealth mode prints substantially slower than normal mode, and the time estimates will be accordingly different.
