Speed Experiments

So it's time for me mess with some of the speed settings to see what they'll actually do.
I've been having some trouble with bed adhesion and I was hoping changing the speed would affect it, but also looking at how the quality would change.

Here's a comparison of time with Peridot at 80mm/s (default) and 40mm/s on "Higher" resolution.

You'll note a few things:
  • 67 minutes vs 128 minutes
  • 2.80m vs 3.20m
  • 474 layers vs 609 layers



Comparing the two prints they look the same from a distance but there you could figure out which one was done with the higher detail by taking a closer look at the layering and edges.  Either way, the normal speed one does fine for what we wanted.

So the effect is noticeable but the questions is: is it really worth the time?
