Change print speed dependent on height

Posted · Change print speed dependent on height

I did some searching but likely don't know the 'key terms' to use, so my apologies if this has been asked/solved already.  Long story short, I  print on an Anet A8 and e10 where the bed moves in the y-direction.  I have gotten serviceable prints by changing speeds/etc.  Where I am running into trouble is with taller prints at a decent speed (60 mm/s).  I believe much of the problem comes from the y-axis moving back and forth with a long (tall) object on the bed.  I was wondering if Cura allows me to set the speed based on layer height.  I do slow down the speed for brim/initial layer, but I was thinking I could print ~ 80 mm/s for the first 'x' layers, and then slow down as the object gets taller.

 

I thank you in advance.

    Hi this is exactly what i'm searching for:IMG_20200501_201419.thumb.jpg.0000552de5783aa47457d3ce2d4ffdd4.jpg

     

    When i print a tall piece , the wobble is linked to the height , because of acceleration and deceleration of the Y axis i presume.

     

    maybe i'm going to try to make a script , but it seems extruder speed should also change with print speed on post treatment side

    Hello, I am also looking for this option to combat ringing on tall prints. Did you ever find a solution?

     

    Edit: I found it, you can add a post processing script called "ChangeAtZ" Under the Extensions tab.

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
