Calibration plate estimated printing time
I had been printing a calibration plate (great tool, btw) and I noticed there is no real indication about print duration.
Once generated, it would be great to be able to check print time at least on the plates page.
Furthermore, while printing it only shows (in loop) ETA related to a single layer exposure. No info about the whole process percentage or remaining time.
Not sure if it might be complicated to calculate (print work a little different from normal models), but would be great to add the feature.
Thanks in advance for support.

Re: Calibration plate estimated printing time
It is not difficult but time consuming. I think it is better if we spend time on improving features which being used every day.

Re: Calibration plate estimated printing time
I also support idea to finalize this feature, and make them more user fiendly. Time for this feature is one of the thing that need to be defined. I'm sugesting one more thing. Elements that is printed, we need to clean before serius examination from residu or resin. If it is not a big problem I will ask that desirable timing for certain square will be imbost in the midle. During cleaning in ultrasonic clener, that I use all the time, for cleaning parts after print, parts fall of the printing platform, and I'm in position to guess, what square is exposed with what timing. This will help a lot. Recently I have got new quantity of resin from reliable producer, and exposition time is 2 timesl longer than previus one. So this function is necesary to use often to be sure that we will achive proper print. Thank's for listening.

Re: Calibration plate estimated printing time
I am planning more advanced calibration plate feature to cover more needs not only cure time. Will try to add your suggestions too.

Re: Calibration plate estimated printing time
I was just suggesting as I didn't know if it the timing behaviour just passed unnoticed; I understand priorities. 
About embedding values in the mask, I agree it might be an interesting option.
If we can help somehow in development, please tell.
