I suppose you might be able to make something like that. But I think I have a good idea for improving the run time estimator. Right now how does it work, does it just use the feed rates X distance to be traveled? What if it took that and added to it a factor(derived from the machines acceleration rate) X the number of lines in the file.

I did install the cycle timer pvcp and it does certainly help. But one thing I noticed- these carvings are "mostly" consistent in how much time they're taking per-line. It would be accurate enough to be helpful to calculate: Time Remaining=(total # of gcode lines/gcode lines done so far)*cycletime so far Is there any way to do that? All I can see is access to "time".
