Description

Currently, Orca Slicer adds time and filament usage information in a format that some 3D printers cannot interpret correctly. For example, it uses: ; filament used [mm] = 1182.01 ; filament used [cm3] = 2.84 ; filament used [g] = 3.53 ; filament cost = 14.10; total filament used [g] = 3.53 ; total filament cost = 14.10 ; total layers count = 137 ; estimated printing time (normal mode) = 23m 46s

However, many printers expect this information in the following format: ;TIME:209.287 ;Filament used:0.334524m ;Layer height:0.2

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

Suggested Solution

Please provide an option in the slicer settings to choose the format of the time and filament usage information. This would help users whose printers require different formats.
