How to stop this crazy speed?

Can someone please tell me how to stop or slow down this crazy movement/speed?

Video link: https://1drv.ms/v/s!ArgB8yhjOSYJhgLcJR7ecn5uHjFE

It is the main reason why the filament keeps jamming (not extruding) plus having ugly infill.

This is my speed setting:

Default speed: 40 mm/s
First layer speed: 60%
Outline underspeed: 60%
Solid infill underspeed: 60%
Support: 60%
X/Y movement speed: 60 mm/s
Z axis speed: 20 mm/s
Speed overrides: turned off

It took me very long time to come up with these speed settings to have my printer print with S3D, plus temperature tweaking; otherwise, the filament jams and does not extrude.

This looks like solid infill. If your printer isn't actually able to print at the solid infill speed without clogging, I'd suggest lowering the solid infill speed percentage.

Thank you DarthRevan for your assistance.

The clip actually shows an infill but I had the percentage set to 75% as a printer part being printed.

Because of this rapid wiggly movement/speed, I ended up with this top layer despite I had it set to 3 top layers:

Extruder moves too fast for the filament flow, thus not enough filament being extruded to get the right infill/top layer, not mentioning I had to baby sit the feeder motor and the print so it will not jam.

Tried different speed settings with no luck.

Re: How to stop this crazy speed?

Infill uses the default speed not any of the underspeed % options. If it's infill and not solid-infill, I'd lower the default speed as your printer looks to have trouble printing at the default speed. Solid infill will automatically decrease in speed if you lower the default speed, as it's a percentage of that setting that would be being lowered.
