What are those thousand dots supposed to represent? Grass? That's going to take up a bunch of your time.

You can get a fairly accurate time estimation using a hacked Marlin firmware, details here: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2785
My web service is back up and running after a few days off if you want to test it out.

yep the dots are grass i model 4 cone of different height and randomly placed them

.8x.6 .8x.9 .8x1.2 .8x1.5 and filled up the area i think it look i am not sure it take so much time anyway 2 hour seems reasonable i could remove the grass and see if it takes much less
