different speed at layers

Hello!

I have often technical parts where i have to change only the speed.
I know it´s possible to add processes where i can do this.
It will be much more easier if you can implement the same function for speed as for temperature or cooling. I mean change the speed for every layer.

I don´t now how difficult it is to progam this. But i would like them really.

Your Software is a very good software. I use them on all 5 private printers and in the company (with second software license ;-) ). I buy only printers which are support sf3d!

Thanks for thinking about my suggestion!

I have a print job I'm doing now where this would have been very useful. I was wondering if they might add it to the (fictitious?) Ver. 5...

Yeah, it would be nice to hear something official from Simplify3D whether v5 actually is being worked and an estimate as to when it will be released.

I reduce speed - usually just for single extrusion fill - but could be layer based - with the post processing script function and M220.

Your print speed for the part would be the maximum you want to run -then you can reduce to a percentage of that, for example 50% is M220 S50.

If you wanted to set your speed to 60% at layer 120 you could use this in your post process script
{REPLACE "; layer 120," "M220 S60\n; layer 120,"}
