Creality Ender 6 default Travel Speed is too fast

Posted · Creality Ender 6 default Travel Speed is too fast

Hello I am using Cura 5.2.1 with an Ender 6 and the travel speed of 200 mm/s  is just way too fast. The printer squeals loudly and almost tries to jump off the table. Yes, the printer can manage this speed just about, but this is not a realistic value. Could whoever is responsible for the default Ender-6 printer profiles please set this setting to no more than 150mm/s.

 

Thank you.

    Hey @Peter_E6,

     

    Welcome to the Ultimaker Community 🎉

     

    Since Cura is open source, printers are contributed by the community. If you would like to see a change you are welcome to contribute it yourself. You can find instructions here: https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/wiki/Adding-new-machine-profiles-to-Cura 


    It looks like the default printspeed is explicitely defined as 80 by default: https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/blame/340e03327ec35c5d25f9b02202f996d0a22f7cca/resources/definitions/creality_ender6.def.json#L22

     

    I think it might be related to your proejct,
    Do you have a project file for us? It contains the printer and settings we need for troubleshooting. 
    To save a project file go to File -> Save project.

    Hello,

     

    Correct the default printspeed is explicitely defined as 80, but the travel speed is defined as 200 mm/s. That's the setting "Speed->Travel speed". I have modified the Ender 6 printer definition file to default this to 150 and now everything is fine, that is at least until the next Cura update...

     

    Kind regards,

    Peter
