Faster 3D prints came out cleaner, and I finally understand why default speed is just a safety net
The article discusses the author's experience with increasing the speed of 3D printing beyond the default settings. Contrary to common beliefs, the author found that faster prints can yield cleaner results, particularly for functional parts. This suggests that default speeds serve more as a safety net than a strict limit for modern 3D printers.
- ▪The author doubled the speed of their 3D printer, expecting negative results.
- ▪Surprisingly, the finished parts appeared cleaner, especially for simple functional prints.
- ▪Default speed settings are often conservative and meant to protect beginners from failures.
