Speed
-
Print Speed
- Generalization of the hot end movement speed and extruder speed during printing. Higher values result in a faster but uglier print, vice versa for lower values. Governs most other speed options.
-
Travel Speed
- Speed at which the hot end will move when not actively printing. Higher values can result in lower print times but do present a risk of having the hot end crash into the print, resulting in a failure.
-
Initial Layer Speed
- Print speed for the initial layers. Lower speeds will improve bed adhesion for difficult prints.
-
Skirt/Brim Speed
- Speed at which bed adhesion features will be printed. Generally will be the same as your initial layer speed, however a different speed may be desired depending on a particular print.
-
Number of Slower Layers
- Designates the number of layers to be printed at your initial layer speed to improve adhesion if needed. Normally set to a value of 2.
-
Equalize Filament Flow
- When checked, modifies the g-code of a particular print to instruct the printer to print thinner lines faster to maintain a uniform material extrusion rate. Can improve print times at a sacrifice of quality depending on the finer features of a particular model.
-
Enable Acceleration Control
- Allows the user to change the preset values for hot end acceleration to improve print time at a cost of quality.
-
Enable Jerk Control
- Allows the user to change preset values for hot end “jerk” or rapid changes in velocity. Can improve print time at a cost of print quality.
