Note

These estimates are the mean of a 100 mm cube, a 3DBenchy and the Stanford bunny, sliced on a Qidi Q2 with a 0.4 mm nozzle, the 0.20mm Standard profile and QIDI PLA Rapido at 5, 15, 30 and 50% sparse infill density, measuring only the sparse infill and the travel in the layers that print it. The patterns that only print solid infill are measured at 100% on their internal solid infill and compared with the other patterns used as solid infill. Layer time variability comes from the cube alone.
They WILL NOT be the same for all models and only serve as a standard guideline.
