What is the Max Volumetric Speed for the Panchroma line?
#Panchroma Volumetric Speed

That's going to depend on what hardware you are using and which filament

PLA Panchroma Cotton White on a Centauri Carbon. I had it at 200 mm/s which was super high for any other filament I use (usually around 21 mm/s) as the max. It prints like crap at 21, but 200 seems really high.
At 21, it's more like this and I'm trying to do a line test:

It's also going to vary based on temperature.
The best thing you can do is run the volumetric speed test in Orca

Well, I can't get any test to simply print without this issue. I have only had such horrible results from Overture Turbo PLA. All others (Elegoo, Sunlu, Greeetech) using PLA, PLA+, PETG, PETG Pro, TPU and ABS+ have all worked well or with just a little tweaking.
Couldn't run the temp test because of this issue. I'll just keep bumping the max speed until I hit it.
I can get these stats from some other vendors, so it's odd it's not published.

The problem is that it varies based on hardware. That printer hasn't even finished pre-orders, so there's no way for us to test it.

I'll just not by polymaker stuff, then. Not worth the massive hassle this has been just getting anywhere to a clean print.

If you are having problems printing with it we can help
Volumetric flow is not the place to start
The Ellis guide will give the order in which to run the tests. We also have a guide in the pinned posts in #custom-printers

I would have said the same, but given I had it printing, but not well, and only with a 200 mm/s max speed, which seems way overkill, I backed off to use a generic PLA profile to readjust. I could simply just drop down from 200, but I'm wasting time/filament just guessing at this.
slender nova
Start with the Generic PLA profile and run the tests. Just guessing is going to make things worse
royal prism
I did that and it literally made matters worse. Not worth it. Thanks anyway. I'll ignore this brand and move on.

If you give us the opportunity to help we will

Sry, but that's why I'm here and you pointed out you can't
Not trying to sound rude, as I know it's likely coming out that way. I just don't have time/money to waste on this when I get better prints without much tweaking from other brands.
slender nova
I did not say that we can't. I said that I can't purchase that printer yet to provide a profile. We can and have helped tune printers
royal prism
Here's a different approach. What is the average setting for that over the printers you do have?

So, one issue being user-error was me printing on a PEI plate, which according to your website, it says not to do. I've switched back to my Biqu plate which is smooth and will try again. I had originally swapped from it, because of other printing issues I've had with this filament. the VMS setting is the fix, I think, but I'll have to just keep trying or give up. This filament smells really badly.
