#PolySpeed PLA ??

There are more and more high-speed or very high-speed printers on the market (Flsun V400 / Bambulab X1-Carbon / soon Creality K1)

I noticed that polylite and polyterra are not very suitable for high speed especially polylite PLA which has difficulty being printed in the infill.
Temperatures must be increased significantly to print quickly, which deteriorates print quality.

Is there a way to get a high speed filament out? Some competing brands already offer this kind of filament

Bump your temp to 250c

#

You may be hitting the flow rate of your hot end as well

You might also consider using a CHT nozzle.

Slow down your infill speeds in the slicer... you maybe maxing out your hotend flow rate.

Especially PolyTerra has a pretty good flow rate when you heat it up enough. I usually print PLA with 230-250°C on my X1C.

Any tips for printing Polymaker Petg at faster speeds? I can get clean walls but I get bad stringing on infill and it sometimes goops up on the tip and looks burned

Goops and burned could be a nozzle leak or filament strings/pieces stuck to the nozzle.

#

What's your current setup/settings?

#

One of the ways to print faster (assuming everything else is tuned) is just increasing your print temp.

#

You could also use a CHT nozzle, better hotend, etc

Thank you both, I am printing on an ankermake M5 and I am brand new to 3D printing so this has been a huge learning curve. I did notice an improvement when I increased retraction distance to 6mm instead of default 3 I will also increase retraction speed

Which slicer are you using btw?

Polyterra not god for high speed? that's weird, is one of the products with the highest melt index
