Inputs
Result
50mm / 0.2mm = 250 layers. Each layer ~25 seconds (wall + infill + travel). 250 × 25s = 6,250s ≈ 1h 44m.
Inputs
Result
200mm / 0.12mm = 1,667 layers. Larger perimeter and finer resolution increase time significantly.
A small print (50mm tall) takes 1–4 hours. Medium prints (100mm) take 4–12 hours. Large prints (200mm+) can take 24–72+ hours depending on quality settings.
| Quality | Layer Height | Speed | Time Multiplier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Draft | 0.3mm | 80mm/s | 0.5x |
| Standard | 0.2mm | 50mm/s | 1x (baseline) |
| Quality | 0.12mm | 40mm/s | 2x |
| Ultra Fine | 0.08mm | 30mm/s | 3.5x |
Layer height has the biggest impact. Halving layer height roughly doubles print time. Infill percentage and wall count also add significant time.
Yes. Higher infill means more material per layer. Going from 20% to 50% infill adds about 30–40% to print time. 100% infill can nearly double the time vs 20%.
Use thicker layers (0.2–0.3mm), lower infill (15–20%), fewer walls (2–3), and faster speeds. Adaptive layer height in slicers uses fine layers only where needed.
