I have a print that its going to take about 8-10 hours, and I need to make about 10 of them. I've been looking into ways to speed things up, and ran across this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kW9SnK4LKc
At about 9:30, he's discussing his speed settings. The thing that really jumped out at me was he's got his regular speed set at 100 mm/sec, but his slicer allows controlling infill speed as well, and he's got that set at 250 mm/sec. or 250% faster. I'm not even sure my printer can go that fast...
I dashed downstairs & looked through all of the speed & infill settings I could find in S3D. As best I can tell, there is ZERO control on basic infill speed. There is only a setting for solid infill underspeed, which doesn't really help.
I've currently got my infill set for 20% using a rectilinear pattern. I took a look at "fast honeycomb", and even though the infill percentage was still 20%, the holes in the honeycomb are significantly larger. For a smaller test print I have set up, the print time goes from 1 hour 16 minutes for the rectilinear infill to 1 hour 24 minutes for the fast honeycomb. It turns out "fast honeycomb" is the SLOWEST of the various infil pattern options, including plain "honeycomb".
Two questions:
1) Why doesn't S3D have some capability to control infill speed? Or is it buried someplace I didn't find?
2) Any other suggestions for speeding things up?
Thanks!
