Grbl Candle tool path problems about candle HOT 2 OPEN

Hello,
As far as I understand, the only issue you have is the "Estimated Time" value, calculated by Candle. Correct?
What is "stepover"? How does it affect Candle or gcode?
Could you please share 2 gcode files so I can compare estimations.

Usually, Candle underestimate the time because the estimation based only on line segment length (see updateProgramEstimatedTime() ) completely ignoring acceleration settings.

Well I don't exactly know what the issue is. I havent tried to run it yet because the estimated times seem unrealistic and i dont want to mess the project up. I did a rough pass with an 1/8 inch endmill and that pass worked perfectly fine. The estimated time and actual run time were reasonably close, within 10 minutes. The project size is 10 in x 14.5 in. So i know the 30 degree v bit is going to take longer. Also since it is the finishing pass, it is doing the toolpath as raster. So it is going to totally cover the whole project and will be lengthy. Stepover is how far the bit is moved over each time the machine takes a pass. and I tried to upload the g codes for you but it didnt seem to let me. Also, i am fairly new to this so it may be something i am doing wrong or a setting i have wrong. I contacted the Carveco support line and it doesnt seem to be a Carveco problem. So it has to be something with grbl candle. Another thing that may or may not be helpful, none of my other projects did this, but this came up with an orange circle and lines somewhat like crosshairs over the project. I am sure it means something but i dont know what. Im going to try to post a screen shot of what i am talking about. I will also try a comparison screenshot of another toolpath of the same project. the only difference is .0011 inch stepover and .00125 stepover. The estimated time are drastically different.
