Faster 3d Printing: Tips To Speed Up Your Printer

Learn how to get the most speed out of your 3D printer! In this video, I will cover Cura parameters and Marlin firmware settings that impact 3D printer speed. We'll discuss how speed affects print quality, the basics of printer speed, Ultimaker Cura parameters controlling 3D printer speed, acceleration, and jerk settings, layer height and print speed, advanced Cura parameters, and firmware-based print speed limits. Whether a beginner or an advanced user, this video will help you get the most out of your 3D printer!

The MakeWithTech channel teaches people how to use desktop technology to create, innovate, and make things. If you are a "maker" and want to learn more about 3D Printing, 3D Printers, 3D Printing Slicers, Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Laser Engravers, or 3D Modeling, this is a place you should visit often. The channel includes additional content about using a wood lathe, woodworking, and programming single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi, Adafruit Circuit Playground, ESP32, and Python. Available reviews are about Prusa, Creality, Monoprice, ANET, Flsun, Fokoos, JG Maker, Solvol, and Flashforge 3D Printers. Slicers covered include MatterControl, Cura, PrusaSlicer, Flashprint, and IdeaMaker. CAD design videos cover TinkerCAD, FreeCAD, OpenSCAD, and Shapr3D. Laser Engravers from Ortur, XTool, and Creality are featured in videos.

No hype, no fuzz, no fluff, no high-video-production and very informative. You are one of a disappearing breed in YouTube. Thanks!

[CuttinInIdaho]

You're a special guy in the best definition of the word.

[hornere]

you do a good job. I've learned more today than i have in 3 weeks

[billcs]

I’ve been watching your videos for awhile now, and I just wanted to say thank you.

[terrybaileysr.]

I love the intro for the show. It is short, classy and gives you the info you need. Just like Mr. Shapiro!

[tonyharion]

Irv, I really hope you realize how incredible your videos are.

You manage to teach with such a beautiful flow that is a pleasue to watch.

Always making sure you get the knowledge across, always with a generous smile in your face.

Thank you for the time you put into your vídeos. Thank you for the generosity of making the information clear for beginners and more advanced makers.

[AbhishekRai-zufk]

Thank you Erv, your channel has add a lot of value in my 3D printing. Hello from India.

[Kipitrl]

Thank you! Never messed with those settings on my printers. Great content

[yeroca]

Great information! You went through the process very methodically in way that makes my mental model of how the slicer and printer settings work very clear.

[dosdont]

Very informative. I wish you would run through every Cura setting the same way, it would kind of turn it into a reference manual for everyone. I know there's an extension that gives information when you mouse over the setting but the extensions don't give examples to help someone understand and I usually don't know what the extension is talking about. Anyway, hoping you do more of this. Thanks

[murrayedington]

Very well explained - many thanks for posting this! Best wishes.

[Nick-yekk]

Excellent video, thanks for going into this level of detail.

[tomstanley]

I don't yet have a printer but no matter, I learned something today from your excellent tutorial that enabled me to understand in layman terms exactly what is required to speed up the process of printing something and also some of the consequences of doing so. Thank you for your time and efforts.

[ashleym]

Good information. Also to keep quality high. Reduce outer wall speed and maybe add a extra surface that's set slower. Also for a bit more speed adjust minimum layer times 5 seconds is enough and minimum speed for when it falls under that 5 seconds. Save about 15 minutes on benchy.

[magiccitymakerspace]

Just subscribed. I really like how you explain things. If it can't be explained simply then you don't understand it well enough is my philosophy! <3

[chrisely]

Simply the best and most explained, thank you.

[RocketCityTim]

Thanks, Irv. Off to hack my SV06 :). How about a Klipper series on the Sovols?

[DrewLSsix]

Probably one of the most over looked ways to effectively speed up your printing is to have multiple printers. For me, it's not that I need a given print right now, it's that when the machine is running I'm pretty much stuck sitting on my hands. There's only so much prep work you can do for following prints when you've got 23 hours left on the current print.

I have 2 creality FDM machines and a resin printer. When I'm on my game I can have all three going at the same time, and dip in during free time to unload finished prints and start the next. 😂

If I had to rely on a single machine and my free time remained unchanged actual per part speed would matter greatly, I'd be reduced to at most a print a day in most cases.

[alejandrokatz]

Great Video!!, hope you can make one on using Klipper software

[gameover]

Verry sweet and easy to understand god woork man!!!
