Re: Run Time Estimation
For example if the file is merely cutting out objects of reasonable size the estimation isn't too far off, but if it is milling something complicated with lots of short moves (such as engraving something.)
I'm not expecting 100% perfect estimations, but when some estimates are within 90-110% of the real run time (which is acceptable), and others are less than 50% of the real run time, it is bordering on useless
hy if estimation is, for example, 33% of real time, then reduce feed to / 3 / 2 ( for example, if initial feed was 0.6, change to 0.1 )
with such lower feed values, if the new estimation is more accurate ( like it changed from 33% to 70% ), it means that the machine can not reach initial desired feed
it's annoying, but estimation accuracy decreases for high feed curvy toolpaths / kindly
