Speeds Settings per each Extruder

Hello!

I believe this feature should be included ASAP. It is awful for the ones that we have 3D printers with the IDEX system (each extruder travelling and working independently, letting the inactive one in a rest-place), to NOT BEING ABLE to set up different speed settings per each extruder.

This put a critical limit to the use of this IDEX system as you can't combine different materials propperly, unless you set up the minimal speed settings that fit most so you are losing big amounts of time as you force one of the extruders to work much more slow than needed.
For example: if you want to combine WoodFill and PLA in the same part with IDEX system, you lose a lot of time because you are forced to set up the speed settings so you will print the WoodFill safely. There is a big difference in the speed settings between composite materials and regular PLA, so being unable to set it up differently per each extruder means a waste of time and a big lose in the actual capabilities of the IDEX system.

Please change the "Speeds Tab" so it works more likely the "Temperature Tab" in which you can set up different settings per each extruder.

Thank you!

Re: Speeds Settings per each Extruder

Indeed, setting speed on a per-layer basis, like with cooling, would be very nice. I now often have multiple processes to have different speeds.

But.. is what you want not doable with processes? Just uses a process for whatever you want wood and whatever you want PLA, and set the speeds accordingly?
