Understanding speed parameters
In this section, we will cover the most important parameters that control printing movements. This set of parameters is really important to understand and manage since wrong values can lead to vibrations and motor overheating, to name just a couple of typical issues.
As we can see in the following figure, there are many values we can set inside the Speed panel:
Figure 17.24: Speed panel
Please note that I cannot give you a startup value for all these parameters, since they are highly dependent on the machine’s performance; sturdier and more powerful machines can print much faster than entry-level ones. My suggestion is to check the default speed values supplied by your machine brand and stick to them.
The key idea behind this set of parameters is to set movement limitations on our machine, a bit like the speed limits we find on the roads every day. Even if our machine can move much faster, these parameters are...
