Posted · Can't increase print speed while printing through Cura

Is there a way that I can increase the print speed of a project that I've already began printing or if I change print speed through the settings and reslice will it cancel or mess up my currently printing project? I am working with Ender 5 Plus if that makes any difference.

    If you reslice it you'd have to print it from the start again.

     

    There isn't an easy way to change the overall speed of a print currently in progress and the hard way (connecting it to a computer over USB then making a virtual serial connection to it then sending it some gcode commands) may not work - sometimes the printer won't respond while it's in the middle of a print, and even if it does, the only commands that would affect the speed will affect everything (including extrusion and travel) and likely ruin the quality of the print.

    That's the answer I had anticipated. It's not a big issue, it was more to see if I could print things with overhangs more quickly after they've passed over the area of overhang and were at a more stable point of printing. I appreciate the response.
