S5 Dual extrusion print travel speed very slow between nozzle swaps compared to travel speed setting


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited) · S5 Dual extrusion print travel speed very slow between nozzle swaps compared to travel speed setting

Hi

 

I need to increase the travel speed between nozzle swaps on a dual extrusion print.  The travel speed between swaps is much much lower than that set in the travel speed parameter.  Anyone know how I can speed this up?

 

Many Thanks

    Unfortunately this is not a setting that can be change within UltiMaker Cura.
    It is controlled firmware side.

    AFAIK the speed of travel to the switch is set by cura, the switching speed itself and the short distance move into the bay are set in the /user/share/griffin/griffin/machines/um3.json file as hotend_switching_speed and default_travel_speed respectively.
    Feel free to try some different values, but be aware that faster operation may cause more errors (which can be seen as leveling errors, or just mess up a print) and possibly damages things, especially if not calibrated perfectly.
