LB Preview estimated time not even close to actual laser time

I’m just wondering if I have a config setting wrong because the preview of a cut job on 3 mm acrylic says 27 minutes, but it is over 40 minutes now and still not finished. It looks like the parts are being cut out properly, but why is the estimated time so far off?

Job estimates are based on the values located in Edit->Device Settings->Additional Settings. You can try reading from the controller or updating those values based on known speeds.

Additionally to PYs comment, I want to add that even if you did the correct setup, the preview time is only accurate if you use settings that your machine is capable of. If you command it to run twice as fast as the machine can do, your project time will always be double. So check this as well.

Thanks for the info, most other burn jobs seem to be aligned with the preview times and the cut speed on this was way less than the speeds in the Additional Settings. The extra time gave me time to make a sandwich so all is well.
