Calculating the estimated print time of an already sliced file
I started to write an application that calculates the estimated total print time from the G-code file for an already sliced model.
The program works and it's pretty accurate.
It works as follows:
It scans the entire G-code file to identify all of…

Tuning time estimates in Cura
Cura consistently under-estimates my print times. I know I'm not alone here, but I've also noticed it seems most of the difference comes from travel and retraction times... that is, if I re-slice an object to minimize those operations the accuracy…

How to 3D print a bike?
I've seen article about World's First 3D Printed Bike.
What kind of printer is required to do that, briefly how long it takes and how much does it cost? Is this even achievable at home? Doesn't need to be that specific one.
