SnOrca - Filament and Speeds

Since some filaments benefit from different speeds is there a way to tie the first layer and subsequent layer speeds to the type of filament using the filament profiles?

I don’t see an obvious way to do this and it seems a bit odd to me since some filament wants to slow down a bit or speed up depending on what it is.

Am I missing something?

Not at my computer so I can’t be sure of this:

Next to the filament in Preview click the … in one of the tabs you should be able to set first layer speed and then subsequent layer speed. Save as a new preset.

Hope that helps :sign_of_the_horns::sign_of_the_horns:

Edit the print profile accordingly and save it under a different name.

First Layer and other layer TEMPERATURE is presented on main tab but not speeds. I don’t see it under any other tabs either. I’ve seen on reddit a few people mention adjusting Max Volumetric Speed but in some case I only want the first layer speed slower. In fact, in my last print, I’ve slowed down the first layer and top layer speeds.

Adjusting Max Volumetric Speed would seem to be just like setting a % which isn’t exactly what I’m looking for.

Sorry, it was the temperature setting I was seeing in my head… thinking it was speed though :roll_eyes:

The speeds are not included in the filament profile, but in the print profile. This can be set up multiple times. You just need to name them differently and select them accordingly.

If you need different objects in the same print to run at different speeds (e.g., different colors using different filaments), try this setting:

You can try right-clicking the object and setting print-process parameters for that object alone.

Thanks. That is what I did but this is more of a filament setting whereby I’ve seen much better first layers slowing down with the PETG filament I have and was hoping I could just set it that way for all time. In the meantime sounds like I just need to do so within the print settings for the objects/global parameters.

I’ve not had a lot of experience (well any…) with PETG but I got great first layers slowing down to 50mm and just doing the infill at 200.

I’ll raise this usage scenario with the software team and see if the print-setting experience can be improved in a future update.
