SPEED CONTINUED
Because moving filament through the
extruder at higher speeds pulls heat out
of the extruder more quickly, substantial
increases in speed require increases in
extrusion temperatures. MakerBot does not
recommend extruder speeds higher than
120 mm/s.
Speed while Traveling. Traveling is when
the extruder moves without extruding
filament. Because travel moves are not
limited by the temperature at which the
plastic can be extruded, they can be faster
than moves that do include extrusion.
CUSTOM PROFILES
Additional advanced options are available
through Custom Profiles. Custom profiles
allow you to edit the slicing engine’s profile
settings directly instead of overriding them
by using the Advanced Options settings.
For more information on using custom
profiles, see http://www.makerbot.com/
