What speed do you like the best?

[bplemmons]

When going for a nice looking part, what speed do you guys seem to have the best luck with?

Thanks Bill

25mm/s gives me great looking prints but doesn't take forever.

Printed in ABS

I allowed the first layer to print and adhere at 100% speed, flowrate 100%. After first layer finished I upped speed to 300% for the duration of the print. Left flow rate at 100%. Not as shiny as some prints, but I could have upped the heat for more shiny effect but did not want to adjust anything once I had already started. Total print time was 1 hour 18 minute approx.

Hotend temp was 225 for entire print and bed temp was 95 for entire print. Printed onto Capton tape directly on 1/4" aluminium disc (my own).

Really happy with it over all, no layer seperation at all. The photo makes it look less perfect than it appears in person, oddly.

Wow, that looks perfect!

Thanks
