Cura 5.1 printing slowly when printing "tight" curves

[drlava 0]

Hello Cura experts, beginner here.  I'm slicing up a replacement chess piece, and notice that the speed that Cura generated when slicing is a LOT slower than expected.  I have an Flsun v400, so have the settings set high, but Curs is giving me 7-8 mm/s around the trunk of the chess piece, which is about 14mm dia, so not that small.  Nothing I change seems to improve the output speed in this area.  What's up?

 

"...Models with smooth curves like spheres, cones, and cylinders, well as more complex models made up of many organic shapes, will display improved surface quality as they will print with up to twice as many individual segments. This was achieved by implementing a new resolution algorithm..."

I think this has more to do with the "Minimum layer time" setting than with the tightness of the curves.

 

See this article from the Settings Guide plugin: https://github.com/Ghostkeeper/SettingsGuide/blob/master/resources/articles/cooling/cool_min_layer_time.md

Thanks for pointing that out, you are correct.  I did not hear the fan spinning up any higher than the base 20% setting, but the Max fan speed was also set to 20%.  After making other adjustments in the 'print cooling' section, the print time has dropped dramatically.

Be aware that there's a reason you may want to have a minimum layer time; the material needs time to cool down and solidify before the next layer is deposited.
