I did some tests on my end, and changing the default printing speed usually does have a quite noticeable affect on the estimated print time. The XY movement speed on the other hand is usually only a very small portion of the total time, so you may not notice a difference by changing that settings. Keep in mind that the size of the part could also matter. Small parts may spend so much time changing directions that the printer can never reach full speed.
In terms of acceleration, I believe V4 used a custom acceleration value that was determined based on testing to match popular machines. However, V5 now allows you to change both the acceleration and jerk parameters for your machine to fine tune the speed estimates. You can find both those settings on the Speeds tab of your process settings.
Hey S3D-Jason these V5 acceleration and jerk parameters in the Time Estimation section in the Speeds tab. Do they ONLY help adjust the time estimation or do they also affect acceleration and jerk parameters of the printing? If not, where are the settings to adjust Acceleration and Jerk parameters? Are there slicer implemented ways to set the acceleration and jerk? I am getting a lot of ghosting and Makerbot makes it hard for us to just enter G-Code commands and adjust acceleration and jerk settings.
Normally I would search on google and find the M commands that do that but I run a Makerbot Z18 and they don't really accept M commands that I know of. If there is a way to send M commands please do enlighten me. I spent the better half of the day setting different acceleration on 6 different sections of a ghosting tower only to find that ghosting is still on every single layer.
Is there a way to enter the M204 and M203 into a script? I don't know the format of how to enter that into the script for Makerbot Z18.
M503 to find out the default settings?
I know slicers out there have settings to control acceleration and jerk but im not sure if s3d has one as well.
