Variable Print Speeds

[graceful gale]

Hey does anyone know if there is any way to make the print speed variable depending on the detail in the print?
So if there's long straight lines the printer prints faster and if there's more detail it slows down?

Yes, this feature is called variable layer height and is available in certain slicer software programs such as PrusaSlicer. It allows you to adjust the print speed based on the level of detail in the print by varying the layer height. By using variable layer height, you can speed up the printing process in areas with less detail and slow it down in areas with more intricate features.

It does that automatically, acceleration values take care of that

Check the speed preview in your slicer

I use Cura, never knew there was such a thing haha

[rugged arch]

after slicing in the preview tab. You can choose what it displays on the top

This?

Why is the largest area with the least amount of detail slower than the areas wher precision matters?

Because you set it so, probably

Inner/outer wall speeds, solid infill speed etc

Might be called different in cura

I'll try to find that
