3) If you're printing from host software like Repetier-Host, you can get an idea of how much time is remaining. I don't think you have a way to see that on the LCD display.
Hi all first post here, waiting on my I3V10 (Friday ) anywho I was looking through slic3r and pronterface last night and notice the section in the config that establishes how many top and bottom layers to print solid, could this be moved from the stock 3 to say 5 layers? would that solve it?
