Specify speed for fine details

Dont know if this exists already, all i've found was speed for entire layers, i kinda wanna see a feature that lets me choose slow speed on thin or small details on the same layer as bigger parts, for example my Reinhardt from Overwatch, Shoulderpads are big but his horns on his helmet are tall and thin.

Re: Specify speed for fine details

normally you define processes that use different settings
gcodestat integrates with Simplify3D and allow you to
Calculate print time accurately (acceleration, max speed, junction deviation all taken into consideration)
Embed M117 codes into G-Code
Upload your G-Code directly to Octoprint
open source and unlicence

But can processes specifically target something on a layer ?

you can cut your part into pieces and assign each piece a separate process

Or make it much simpler by letting the program have custom printspeeds on certain areas for each layer, this would solve world-famine and whatnot, i cant be fucking arsed cutting my model up into pieces, thats stupid and more work than needed, the first slicer to add this feature will be my go-to slicer and since this is a payed for slicer it needs to be updated MUCH MORE frequently, it feels like staff on this program has all died.

Re: Specify speed for fine details

Put those commands in the post processing script field...
{REPLACE "; outer perimeter\n" "; outer perimeter\nM204 S600\n"}
{REPLACE "; inner perimeter\n" "; inner perimeter\nM204 S1200\n"}
{REPLACE "; solid layer\n" "; solid layer\nM204 S1000\n"}
{REPLACE "; infill\n" "; infill\nM204 S2000\n"}

Maybe not the perfect solution but at least lets you determine the max acceleration for the different parts.
Works quite well for me.
