Available Custom Settings

strengthen_tree_support

• Description: This setting enables or disables the strengthening of tree supports.
• Location: Found in the fdmprinter.def.json file.
• Effect: When enabled, it increases the strength of tree supports, making them more robust during the printing process.

machine_max_print_speed

• Description: Sets the maximum allowable print speed for the machine. This acts as a hard upper limit for print speed, regardless of material or profile settings.
• Location: Defined in the fdmprinter.def.json file under the speed category. Used in Intents
• Effect: Ensures that no print job exceeds this speed, providing a safety and quality constraint for all profiles and materials.
• Default: 150 mm/s (or as set per machine definition)

machine_visual_print_speed

• Description: Defines the recommended print speed for high-quality (visual) prints on the machine, regardless of material.
• Location: Defined in the fdmprinter.def.json file under the speed category. Used in Intents
• Effect: Used as a baseline for visual/quality profiles to ensure optimal surface finish and detail.
• Default: 60 mm/s (or as set per machine definition)

Setting Print Speeds:

-> in "Materials" you set the value of speed_print, which will determine the speed at which engineering and balanced intent speeds will be set -> in "Intents" you can increase/reduce this speed for Visual and Quick. You can use the machine_max_print_speed and machine_visual_print_speed for refereence -> in "Quality" ideally set up a "maximum_material_print_speed" for larger size nozzles to ensure you are not extruding more than the nozzle is capable to extrude. In interns you can use this value instead of a constant like currently (TBD)
