patch: total build time in Skeinforge

here is a small patch I just sent to enrique to give the total build-time in hours, minutes and seconds and to calculate the weight of extruded ABS based on the volume:
(statistics.py)

self.addLine( "The total build time is %s h %s min %s s." % ( int( round( self.totalBuildTime / 3600) ) , int( round( (self.totalBuildTime / 60) % 60 ) ) , int( round( self.totalBuildTime % 60 ) )))
...
self.addLine( "The volume extruded is %s cc. (= %s gramm for ABS)" % (euclidean.getThreeSignificantFigures( volumeExtruded ) , int( round( 1.08 * volumeExtruded ) )))

i think to see Meter of 3mm Filament is better then the Weight of ABS

I have no idea how many meters are on a spool.
I buy them in 5, 10 or 1 Kg.

I think, if i will make someting and i know how much Meter i must take ... i am able to cut this piece from my spool ...

or

I still have one remaining piece, it's enough yet ?

Feel free to add it and submit your change to enrique.
It certainly would not hurt.
Better yet:

"used 2.8-3.2mm Filament-length XXX - XXX meter"
as filament is never exactly 3.00mm thick and you don´t want to have too little of it on your spool

Or better yet, allow inputting the value for Kilograms per meter (Kg/m) so the proper length of filament can be displayed based on what is being used.

I don´t think that is a good idea.
This is some extra statistics for convenience and has
nothing to do with the primary function of the program.
Settings are complex enough as they are.

Strange things happens...

i put your lines into and get a diffrent of 1 hour... and i delete the lines again...

The text has 27596 lines and a size of 883.0 KB.
The total build time is 2 hours 23 minutes 45 seconds. (< before there are only scounds)
The total distance extruded is 64605.8 mm.
The total distance traveled is 74537.5 mm.
The version is 2010-04-26
The volume extruded is 12.7 cc.


i put the lines into again:

The text has 27596 lines and a size of 883.0 KB.
The total build time is 2 hours 23 minutes 45 seconds.
The total build time is 2 h 24 min 45 s.
The total distance extruded is 64605.8 mm.
The total distance traveled is 74537.5 mm.
The version is 2010-04-26
The volume extruded is 12.7 cc.
The volume extruded is 12.7 cc. (= 14 gramm for ABS)

now there is only 1 minute diffrent ??


but you can use the line "The total distance extruded is 64605.8 mm." to get the Meter of the 3mm Filament with a 0.5mm Hole in the Barrel.

Actually "distance extruded" is an oval cross-section of layer-height x (layer-height x width-to-heigh-ratio) and not 0.5mm circular.

take an other File to complile... there is something wrong ?

The total build time is 5 hours 37 minutes 54 seconds.
The total build time is 6 h 38 min 54 s.
The total distance extruded is 154453.7 mm.
The total distance traveled is 178879.6 mm.

The volume extruded is 30.3 cc.
The volume extruded is 30.3 cc. (= 33 gramm for ABS)

before you ask what i did...


for procedure in self.procedures:
self.addLine( procedure )
self.addLine( " " )
self.addLine( "The text has %s lines and a size of %s KB." % ( self.numberOfLines, kilobytes ) )
self.addLine( "The total build time is %s." % euclidean.getDurationString( self.totalBuildTime ) )
self.addLine( "The total build time is %s h %s min %s s." % ( int( round( self.totalBuildTime / 3600) ) , int( round( (self.totalBuildTime / 60) % 60 ) ) , int( round( self.totalBuildTime % 60 ) )))
self.addLine( "The total distance extruded is %s mm." % euclidean.getThreeSignificantFigures( self.totalDistanceExtruded ) )
self.addLine( "The total distance traveled is %s mm." % euclidean.getThreeSignificantFigures( self.totalDistanceTraveled ) )
if self.version != None:
self.addLine( "The version is " + self.version )
self.addLine( "The volume extruded is %s cc." % euclidean.getThreeSignificantFigures( volumeExtruded ) )
self.addLine( "The volume extruded is %s cc. (= %s gramm for ABS)" % (euclidean.getThreeSignificantFigures( volumeExtruded ) , int( round( 1.08 * volumeExtruded ) )))
return self.output.getvalue()

Argh...we should not round() but cut off digits here

Now i have what wont:

self.addLine( "The volume extruded is %s cc. (= ca. %s cm at 0.5mm Barrel and 3mm Filament )" % (euclidean.getThreeSignificantFigures( volumeExtruded ) , int( round( volumeExtruded / 3.14 / (0.15 * 0.15) ))))

The size of the hole in the barrel makes no difference to the length of filament required! V = PI * r^2 * h; h = V / ( PI * r^2); regardless of whether you are using a 0.3 mm, 0.35 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.45 mm, 0.5 mm or other sized hole.

self.addLine( "The volume extruded is %s cc. (= ca. %s cm using perfectly round 3.0 mm Filament )" % (euclidean.getThreeSignificantFigures( volumeExtruded ) , int( round( volumeExtruded / 3.14 / (0.15 * 0.15) ))))

Best Pi ever even 22/7 is more precise

import math
math.pi

Actually I always used 355/113 if I don't have a PI variable.
It's accurate to 6 decimal places.

Python gives you math.pi as a constant.
