Thanks for that - I had a look at those and set them to match Cura - plus as it was spiralise there was very little else going on (two small bridges) and I had set the elements you discuss at 100% printing speed.
Will continue hacking!

So I tracked this down to an issue where S3D has a setting to control the 15 second print time to xx% - as all the layers were less than 50% it was throttling the speed!
Now that I have removed that the speeds are the same as Cura.

Hi !
I've the same problem, the printer is really slow compared to the theoric speed... Can you give me, precisly, the name of the setting I've to change ?
Many thanks !
hi its is located under the cooling section of S3D on the right says cooling speeds just untick the box and it should be much faster then.
Hey guys! I'm also having trouble with s3d. Compared to other printing software, it has huge printing times. I've made some screenshots with all the settings and shared them here. Can you please have a look and tell me what's wrong?
P.S.:Could you also direct me to a website or something where I can find printing speeds that are linked to temperatures, for different materials? Because all I can find are for example: "Temp: 180-230 degrees; Speed 35-80mm/min" ...they're too general... Thank you!
Change your print speed - 80mm/MIN is sloooooooooow ( for me really really slow is 25mm/SECOND) (you can change form min to seconds in the newest version)
you also are forcing retraction on each layer?

Print speed depends on:
* Material
* Temperature
* Machine
So while there are general guidelines. It also depends a lot on the machine. Which means you'll have to find info from someone with the same machine, or, find it out yourself by experimenting.

Simplify3D has additional settings for speed reductions such as:
- Layer - First Layer Settings - First Layer Speed
- Cooling - Speed Overrides - Allow speed reductions down to ... %
- Other - Speeds - Outline Underspeed
- Other - Bridging - Bridging speed multiplier
Maybe you have "hidden" speed reductions and that is why your prints take longer?
Another factor might be the Other - Speeds - X/Y Axis Movement Speed (Movement without printing). This is set lower in Simplify3D (I think standard settings are 50mm/s or so) than in Cura (150mm/s).
If you want to be sure about speed settings just check your model in after "Prepare to print". The program colors your parts according to the printhead speed. This should be uniform. I have never compared printing times of Cura and Simplify3D but with the same settings you should get the same results.
