Feature Request: show remaining time instead of % completed #1

Open sapier opened 10 years ago

I'm quite new but shouldn't there be way to calculate remaining time from gcode size, % complete as well as printing speed? Of course this won't be completely accurate but it'd be way more helpfull then showing 30% complete.

There is no direct relation between the number of G-Code bytes and time. One G-Code of e.g. 20 bytes can last 1 or 10 seconds. In theory it is possible to estimate the remaining printing time (like the PC software does it), but currently this is not supported by the firmware.

Yes I know that's why I tagged this as "feature request" it's something nice to have but of course nothing realy necessary
