Print time calculator for a brick pack
Use one print you already know to estimate the next. Printing time grows with the plastic laid down, so a print of the same kind scales from it. Add extra plates and colour swaps on top.

Estimate only. It holds best for the same printer, settings and kind of parts; many tiny parts print slower per gram than a few big ones. Your slicer's own estimate for the real plate is the one to trust.
The sums
- Printing time = known time x new grams / known grams.
- Extra plates = (plates - 1) x minutes per plate.
- Colour swaps = swaps x seconds per swap.
