lance-greene 7 Posted April 14, 2016 in does speed adjust during printing effect material flow? just wondering if i adjust the speed of a print while its printing will that modify the flow rate as well like cura does? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Labern 716 Posted April 14, 2016 in does speed adjust during printing effect material flow? Yes it will. You can get dimensional differences due to the flow vs temperature. You may also experience under or over extruding depending on which way you alter the speed. You may need to adjust the temp as well as the speed and if you adjust the temp down do it slowly so it doesn't undershoot and cause under-extrusion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lance-greene 7 Posted April 14, 2016 in does speed adjust during printing effect material flow? i find cura doesn't seem to do a very good job at judging the flow rate required when printing at high speeds. unless its more dependent on what material you're using. ive been printing a lot of abs and while printing at 100 mm/s (with increased temp to compensate for the speed) i still have to up the flow rate to 120% to get proper bed/layer adhesion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Labern 716 Posted April 14, 2016 in does speed adjust during printing effect material flow? Are you increasing the initial layer speed or keeping that low? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lance-greene 7 Posted April 14, 2016 in does speed adjust during printing effect material flow? i set the initial layer speed to 50 mm/s which i know is fast but the increased flow rate is able to compensate for it. i find bondage between layers is still pretty bad if i dont increase the flow rate though.

Labern 716 Posted April 14, 2016 in does speed adjust during printing effect material flow? It maybe due to slippage in the feeder as it will be under so much pressure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
