One part, 52 printers, real minutes
You are choosing a printer for a batch, or choosing which of yours to run it on. Spec sheets quote top speed, which a real part never reaches. We sliced the same small bracket for 52 printers from seven makers, each on its maker's own 0.20 mm preset. The fastest spends 5 min 7 s on the part, the slowest 14 min 4 s.
See all 52What the numbers say
2.7 times apart. On the part itself, the Bambu Lab H2C takes 5 min 7 s and the Elegoo Neptune 3 Max 14 min 4 s. Same part, same material, same 0.20 mm layers.
The start routine counts. Homing, bed probing and the purge line add 13 seconds on the Qidi X-Plus 4 and nearly 6 minutes on the Bambu Lab A1. On one small part that can double the time. Put many parts on one plate and it is paid once.
Size is not speed. The seven Vorons, from the 120 mm Voron 0.1 to the 350 mm 2.4, are within one second of each other. The preset decides, not the bed.
All 52, slowest last
The part: a 24 x 10 x 12 mm bracket from our small walking robot, PLA, one per plate, sliced on 15 October 2026 with BambuStudio 02.08.02.61 and each maker's own printer, process and filament presets. Every printer here also passed our file check on that slice.
Now your batch. Pick a printer above, then how many parts:
These are the slicer's estimates, read from its own result: time per feature (walls, infill, travel) summed for the part, and its total for the whole file. A printer running a faster profile than its maker ships will beat these numbers. Your part will rank differently, which is why we slice it.
What you get
- Your part on the printers you are choosing between
- Sliced with each maker's own presets, the same way as above, so the comparison is fair.
- The file checked for each one
- Every move, temperature and retraction against that printer's limits, before you buy or run it.
- Hours for your batch
- Parts per plate, plates per day, days for the order.
- A farm if you want one
- We can print the batch across our farms in Shenzhen.
