تقدير مهمة طباعة

Estimate a print job

Read a slicer estimate with the setup, risk, and finishing time included.

The problem

A print takes longer or costs more than expected.

Why it happens

Only machine time was considered, not setup, first-layer observation, reprints, and finishing.

How to fix it

Review the slice, note the assumptions, and compare estimate with actual results over several jobs.

Settings to try

Check material grams Add preparation time Record actual time
