Print speed problems

Hi,

I can't figure this out. I print this model very slow, 30mm/s and X/Y movement speed 120mm/s. I use sailfish 7.7 and in the clip i even lowered speed to 50% in sailfish menu but print head still moves to fast at some point and make my printer very unhappy.

I think this value may be the issue.
Lower this value to the speed you'd like movements to be made.

Re: Print speed problems

Oh, i think i got it. Can't test now a print is ongoing already. But sailfish acceleration only works on straight lines and not in curves. And in this print fast movments moves in curves becuse i checked in "avoid crossing outline for travel movments".

So yes if i use that feature i need probably lover X/Y movement speed alot.
