A short extrusion speed test. Right now the stepper is not the limiting factor.
Definitely interested in what your thoughts are on the E3D lite6. I really like mine, but I have a feeling that it's limiting my speed on my DIY Ultimaker2. At 50mm/s at 0.1 layer height I'm fine (PLA @215C), but 50mm/s at 0.2 things just start looking like poop due to massive under extrusion. I know part of it is this filament, as it doesn't respond much to increases in temp, even when I tried all the way up to 235C, but I also know E3D has stated that it has a shorter melt zone then a full V6. I know my feeder isn't the issue, because I'm not getting any slipping and there is a large amount of back pressure behind the nozzle. I just don't think my hotend can keep up.
