Showing remaining print time on a V0 Display

This is a crude macro to show the remaining print time on a V0 display, sourcing the progress information from M73 R if available, and afterwards falling back to M73 P averaged with the file progress.

If you're not using the lcd_tweaks.cfg by alchemyEngine, you may need to replace the [display_data] section headline as such:

-[display_data __voron_display printing_time]
+[display_data _printing_time]

The time will be shown in HH:MM format. It is probably not as accurate as mainsail is, as it can also use the total filament used (from moonraker) to approximate the remaining time.

[gcode_macro M73]
rename_existing: M73.0
variable_remaining_time_minutes: False
gcode:
  SET_GCODE_VARIABLE MACRO=M73 VARIABLE=remaining_time_minutes VALUE={params.R | default(false) }
  M73.0 {rawparams}

[display_data __voron_display printing_time]
position: 2, 10
text:
  {% if printer.print_stats.state == "printing" %}
    {% set remaining_time_in_minutes = printer['gcode_macro M73'].remaining_time_minutes %}
    {% if remaining_time_in_minutes is sameas false %}
      {% set progress = (printer.display_status.progress + printer.virtual_sdcard.progress)/2 %}
      {% set remaining_time_in_minutes = ((printer.print_stats.print_duration / progress) - printer.print_stats.print_duration) // 60 %}
    {% endif %}    
    { "E%02d:%02d" % (remaining_time_in_minutes // (60), (remaining_time_in_minutes) % 60) }
  {% endif %}
