estimated time difference between PVC and control panel

Post by awdang »

hello all, not a huge deal but is there anything I can do to get the estimated job time between photo vcarve and the shark control panel to be closer or is it something I just need to live with and adjust in my head. Currently the shark control panel job time is roughly double from what photo vcarve estimates. Thanks

You adjust the scale factor to come close. Say you had it at 2 and it was 4 hrs on the machine but only showed 2 hrs in pvc, so you would adjust the scale factor up more to match .
