Advanced options - Speed Settings
The speed tab covers two settings. Speed while Extruding is both the speed at which your
extruder moves while it's extruding plastic and the speed at which plastic is coming out of the
extruder. This speed needs to be slow enough for the layer being extruded to bond with the
layer underneath it. The extruder can move faster when it's not extruding plastic, so we have a
separate setting for that: Speed while Traveling.
Export
You can save you files to an SD card for directly inserting in the Makerbot or you can save them
to your hard drive. Saving to your hard drive will require that you connect your computer
directly to the MakerBot using a USB cable. MakerBot do not read USB thumb drives.
When you have completed the settings select ‘Export!’.
