Printing Speed - (no rush set up)
Posted: Sat Dec 05, 2015 1:05 am
I know some print can be long but after printing for a while i noticed that no matter what they are long anyway so I find it more relaxing (and usually better result) in slow printing for large project
if a print last 5 hours i don't see the big deal it will takes 8/9 hours as most of the long print i run them at night before i leave the office
while i run the small print during the day 1-2 hours pieces
I am writing this mostly for myself to see if people has any comment maybe i print too slow (is even possible?)
FIRST- main speed
i lowered the speed at - 40 mm/s (from 80)
outline even slower - 24mm/s (60%)
solid infill - 40 mm/s (100%) (didn't feel the need to lower it as usually is 60% of 80)
support - 40 mm/s (100%) (don't use them but anyway i don't feel the need to lower this either)
SECOND - first layer speed
This is seriously slow i usually bump it up to 40%-50% if the surface is LARGE as it takes FOREVER!!!!
but on small object it doesnt bother me i like to look at the first layer while it's being done to see where the surface is not flat etcetc
-Tiny base object - 8mm/s (20%)
-medium base object - 16mm/s (40%)
-large base object - 20mm/s (50%)
THIRD - very tiny layers speed
layer so small that take less then 15 second to finish very tiny object/details
speed reduction - 4 mm/s (10%) i though to go 5%
but i worry that so slow when i do the branch of the tree the heat of the nozzle stay too long too close this is why i didn't want to go any lower
FOUR - gcode-ACCELERATIONS
the one in RED
M201 - Set max printing acceleration
Parameters
Xnnn Acceleration for X axis
Ynnn Acceleration for Y axis
Znnn Acceleration for Z axis
Ennn Acceleration for extruder drives
Example - M201 X1000 Y1000 Z100 E2000
M204: Set default acceleration
After Mar11-2015, the M204 options have changed in Marlin:<<< if you have an old firmware DON'T USE THIS INFO
Parameters
P = Printing moves
R = Retract only (no X, Y, Z) moves
T = Travel (non printing) moves
Example - "M204 P800 T3000 R9000"
I feel the command M204-P and M201 kind of overlap so i set them all to 800
the movement M204-T I lowered so it doesn't shake too much when it moves without printing
and the M204-R is the only one that i increased to help Ooze to suck back the filament (supposedly is 3000 i doubled 6000)
