If I use Bedleveling the slicer tell me the need up to 4 times of time

Hello,

After I managed some issues with the under extrusion and  Bed leveling now I have the next issue.

I have 2 Printer setups in cura 4.6 - one with bed leveling one without.

the cura 4.6 slicer tells by a projekt without bed leveling :

1 hour 54 mins

and with bed leveling:

8 hours 31 mins

me a near 3 times higher time in the moment I have the G-Code M420 S1 in my start G-Code section.

here my G-code sectins:

Is this normal?

Hi @topoli
I am confident that line is not the only difference between those two configurations. That command should not affect the estimated print time at all.

Does anyone ever really believe that print time?  It's Cura 4.6.  I thought optimistic print times on the A5S was a software feature

I would seriously save that gcode and print it just to watch what the heck it thinks it's gonna do for 8 1/2 hours

When I tried mesh bed levelling, I noticed excessive print times. I just assumed that mesh bed leveling adds thousands of "z" movements, so your prints take longer. Am I wrong?

No, mesh bed levelling should not change the print time. Retraction settings will affect the print times much more.
