Slow Printer?

I assembled my MK2S over the weekend and so far its been amazing. Other than adjusting the live z, I haven't made any changes to the settings.

I've noticed when I print the models included on the SD card, it seems to take about 50% longer than the file names indicate they should. For example, I just finished printing the vase. The file name (and website) indicated it should have taken about 5 hours, but it took about 7.5 hours. Don't get me wrong, it came out perfect, just took 50% longer than expected. Is this normal?

I don't think i've ever seen an accurate prediction of print time anywhere. So, don't worry about. I don't remember how long the vase took here, but yes, it was considerably longer.

Re: Slow Printer?

I've never printed the vase, but the times for the other objects were more or less accurate.

Re: Slow Printer?

Same here, e.g. Adalinda took 1.5hrs longer to print... how can that be?

Re: Slow Printer?

yes, the time required to print the files at the sd-card often doesn't match. it usually takes 10 - 25 % longer, at least at my printers here.
maybe these "examples" were once printed in the given time with previous printer or firmware-release versions ?

dem inscheniör is' nix zu schwör...
