Changing speed of support layers

Is there a way to change the speed of only the support layers? I'm printing in PLA with PVA supports and have had some pretty good results, but the prints take forever because I've found PVA works best at very low speeds (10 mm/s). Most of the print I use the PVA support for are fairly large and complex, so it really exponentially increases print time.

Since the supports aren't they're own "process", I can't just ungroup and change the speed like I can with two parts. Maybe there's a way to do this that I'm unaware of, but I'd really appreciate any help with this!

Re: Changing speed of support layers

Go to the Other tab and change the "support structure underspeed" option if you want the support structures to print slower
