Override Zhop speed

[RealNewDeal 0]

I've been struggling to tune retracts, and noticed in S3D that I had perfect retraction with 20mm/s z hop speed. However, Cura will not let me set it above 10mm/s. Is there any way I can override that?

I think this is what you're looking for.  You didn't mention your printer.  This is for mine...

 

Within the "creality_base.def.json" file in the "Overrides" section is "machine_max_feedrate_z":{"default_value": 10 }, .  That sets the max allowable Z-Hop speed in the Cura settings dialog.

 

Still in the Overrides but down a bit further is "speed_z_hop":{"value": 5 }, and that sets the default number in the Cura settings dialog.  It's what shows until I make a change.

 

If you can find the lines in your definition file - change the max to 25 and the speed to 20, save the file and restart cura.

Forgot to do that, mine is a Sidewinder X1.

Here's the location and file name you need to alter.  "c\Program Files\Ultimaker Cura 4.8.0\resources\definitions\artillery_base.def.json

 

The instructions noted in my previous post apply.  Alter the two lines.  Don't alter anything but the numbers.  If there are spaces, there are supposed to be spaces.
