Print Speed

Print speed refers to the rate at which the 3D printer's print head moves while depositing material. It is typically measured in millimeters per second (mm/s) and affects the overall time it takes to complete a print job. Adjusting the print speed can influence the quality, strength, and detail of the printed object.

Recommended values: It is recommended to start with a moderate print speed, typically around 40-60 mm/s, and adjust based on the material and complexity of the model. Slower speeds are often used for detailed or small parts, while faster speeds can be used for larger, less detailed prints.
