Zusammenfassung:	Methods, systems, and devices are described herein for estimating a three dimensional (3D) print-time for generating a 3D object relative to one or more 3D model or printer parameters. In one aspect, at least one 3D model or printer parameter may be received for generating a 3D object by a 3D printer. Historical print-time data associated with at least one 3D model or printer parameter for generating other 3D objects may be obtained. Based on the received 3D model and printer parameters and the obtained historical print-time data, an estimated print-time for generating the 3D object by the 3D printer may be determined before slicing the 3D model by the 3D printer. In another aspect, a desired print-time for generating a 3D object may be received. One or more 3D model/print parameters may then be configured to achieve or exceed the desired print-time.
