Is it possible to avoid certain printing speeds?

Hello all,

When printing parts on my printer I noticed parts were shifting slightly in the x-axis mid print. After watching a print the whole way through I noticed that at a certain speed (around 3000mm/min) and corresponding layer the resonant frequency of the machine was hit causing it to vibrate. Is there any way of avoiding these speeds? I am currently printing at a lower speed than this but it is quite slow. Thanks in advance for your help.

You can choose one overall print speed for the complete print, it’s also possible to use different print speeds for specific parts of the print

Will,

For the most part I believe all of the default profiles I've used had all the underspeeds in the speeds tab set to values lower than 100% so all you would need to set in order to limit your profile's speed is to lower the Default Speed, as all other speeds look to be descendants of that default speed value.

If your default speed is already set below 3000mm/min, I'd suggest sharing with us a screenshot of your speeds tab or attach your factory file. Somewhere you'd likely have something set to a value above 100% speed for that to be causing speeds above 3000.
