Wrong ETA (I haven't changed any settings)

I have Repetier-Host Mac 1.1.0. While I was printing the other day, the ETA changed from a few minutes to a little over 21 hours. Today i printed something and immediately it was saying the ETA would be over 21 hours. Any ideas on what is causing this?

    Not really. We haven't changed the time computation for years as they were doing their job.

    So my guess is that the gcode now is different e.g. not having a feedrate at the start that causes a wrong time. Or does it really take hours now and you have set speed to a slow value?

    It only takes and hour or so. I didn't change anything with the G-code or settings, but how would i check to see if the federate is at the start?

    Look into the G-Code. It is the F parameter in G0/G1 moves. You can also send the gcode to me and I check what time I get. Please tell me just the right printing time and what it reports for you so I can compare.

    I did a print today so i could get the times for you to compare. The ETA was 20:33:20. The actual time was 00:19:00. 

    Im going to post the G-code below.

    For some reason, it won't let me upload it.

    The forum does not support uploading. Put it in your dropbox/google drive and post the link or send it as PM if oyu do not want it public.

    Ok, got your file (native text is better then docx btw) and it reported 00:14 which is close to your measured 19 minutes. Only value that seems to be able to change that time is in printer settings->Behaviour->Add to comp. printing time. Please change there that you have something like 20% and not a very big number.
