Here's a new one. The estimated carve times about 1/2 of what they used to be!
I always label my uploaded projects to include carve times. A few months ago I uploaded the kissing cherub ptn (9" x 10") with the bit optimized "best" and carve "best" the time was 207 min.

Now the identical ptn, size, and settings gives me 107 minutes. The reason I checked is I started a project and the Y(?spindle back and forth) axis seemed to move very fast.

Any idea what is going on? Could someone please upload the kissing cherubs at 9 x 10" and see what the est. carve time is.

I have a call into software support, but he won't be in until sometime tomorrow.

Thanks

Thanks Joe. I appreciate your checking it out. All I can figure is the original was uploaded a while back with an older version of software (1.15)

Thanks to everyone for the help. I know the 3:27 was accurate because the my CC went down 3 hrs into the carve with a cut motor error in May. (CC took a vacation to Texas to get repaired). GREMLINS ?????????
Guess we can close the thread.

Anyway thanks to everyone!
