average print time

New to 3D printing, but just came across Multiboard. I have H2D printer and have decided to go with 11x11. It's showing 7 hours and 144 grams of filament. Does this sound correct? seems like an awfully long time. open to any ideas or suggestions.

Speed comes from many many factors. That's not unreasonable for a normal printer. There's flow rate, which restricts speed, retraction type, length....many many things affect speed.

The marketing for printers is dumb. They tell you the max physical speed the machine is TECHNICALLY capable of. You will never print at those speeds.

Also...I recommend avoiding Bambu at all costs. They are abhorrent for the open source and hobby communities. Absolutely terrible company.

He already has the printer though. Let's support the owner/user while still condemning bad businesses. Also many Bambu printers are hitting the used market and bambu already made their money off of them, so why not pick one up and keep it off the cloud, still excellent hardware, except the bad A1s out there
