Creality Ender 6 default Travel Speed is too fast

[Peter_E6 0]

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.

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
