SUGGESTION: Print finish time in sliced info
Hi,
would it be a good idea to include the estimated print job finish time in the sliced info panel in Pruca slicer? It would be convenient when planning print jobs 😀

RE: SUGGESTION: Print finish time in sliced info
Maybe I'm missing something but how would the slicer know when you want to start the job? Should it just assume now? Many of us slice and send gcode to printers way in advance of when we want to print. and seeing a meaningless finish time would be, well, meaningless. The slicer already shows you print time, so all it takes is basic math.

The start time is not important, but if people finds that useful we could maybe have a start time field also or just a sentence like "If you where to start the job now, it will be finished approximately 10.05". And the whole thing could be a settings choice, to show or not show.
Sometimes when full production from different customers on many machines is going on, it is important to know if the job is finished 16.00 or 17.20.
But juggling many machines and several jobs in a long row for weeks, puts one more source of error in even the basic math to find the finish times.
A typical example of where it is convenient to have the info in the system instead of your head.
