Equivalent to Klipper_Estimator for RRF available?

Triet

I use Orca to slice the models for my RRF printer and need to use a postprocessor which depends on more or less exact estimations of execution times for each move in the gcode file.

There is such a program for Klipper users called "Klipper_Estimator.exe" and I would need the equivalent to analyse a gcode in RRF flavor. I assume that the actual estimation calculations themselves would be similar but the program does not accept gcode generated for RRF due to some trivialities I think.

Does anyone know about such a program compatible with RRF gcode files?

@Triet You can simulate job files in DWC by right-clicking on an item and pressing "Simualte". When done, it will show a pretty accurate estimate of the print time in the job list and on the job progress page. Is that what you are looking for?

Well, this is what one gets from Klipper_Estimator:

$ ./klipper_estimator [config options] estimate ~/3DBenchy.data
Sequences:
Run 0:
Total moves: 42876
Total distance: 73313.01640025008
Total extrude distance: 3407.877500000097
Minimal time: 1h29m9.948s (5349.947936969622)
Average flow: 1.5321468696371368 mm3/s

18m0.185s => SOLID-FILL

(you might take a look at https://github.com/Annex-Engineering/klipper_estimator).

I am afraid that what the DWC outputs will not be enough, but I will check it.

Could I use that feature from a command line?

@chrishamm
I tried out the simulation in the DWC.
Actually, the simulation calculates more than just the total print time, since it shows duration for each layer grafically.

Is there a way to get that data as numerical values in a text file? Perhaps with a different granularity?

chrishamm

@Triet Not out of the box but you could write a DWC plugin to generate a text file if you need one. Layer details are available in the layers.[] object model of DWC and DSF (only in SBC mode).

@chrishamm OK, thanks.
