Slowing Down Infill Extruder Speed? (Anet A8, Cura v5.0.0)
The movements in the preview are "not to scale". Each linear movement, no matter how long it is takes as long as all the others. So the long infill lines seem to be very fast in comparison to all the tiny linear movements of that make up the hull. Do not judge the speed of the actual nozzle by the speed of the nozzle in the preview.
If you want to judge the actual print speed, use the "Speed" color scheme in the preview tab.

Thank you for the information, I assumed that the movements in the Cura preview are not to scale, however I wasn't sure why it was printing the infills so fast... until you told me about the Speed color scheme in the Cura preview. That cleared everything up, and that is a very handy feature that I hope they keep! Turns out I was just looking at the wrong speed settings, I underestimated how fast 30 mm/s really is.
Thank you for the help!

Strap in for the first Cura release of 2024! This 5.7 beta release brings new material profiles as well as cloud printing for Method series printers, and introduces a powerful new way of sharing print settings using printer-agnostic project files! Also, if you want to download the cute dinosaur card holder featured below, it was specially designed for this release and can be found on Thingiverse!
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
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.
