Q&A

How can I speed up my 3D prints?

You can speed up your 3D prints by increasing acceleration and speed settings, optimizing cooling settings, adjusting cornering speeds, unifying line widths, increasing retraction speeds, and using fast travel moves.

Will increasing the speed affect print quality?

Increasing the speed may affect print quality if not done carefully. It's important to optimize other settings like cooling, acceleration, and retraction to maintain quality at higher speeds.

What is the impact of cornering speeds on print time?

Cornering speeds can have a significant impact on print time. By adjusting these speeds, you can minimize unnecessary movements and reduce print time.

How does unifying line widths reduce print time?

Unifying line widths allows for thicker lines to be drawn, reducing the number of lines required for printing and thus reducing print time.

What are fast travel moves and why are they important?

Fast travel moves refer to the rapid movements of the printer when no printing is happening. By using fast travel moves, you can save time during printing without affecting quality.
