What was the print time?
Three hours, 40 minutes.
or 50mm/s for everyone else :-)Quote:

Math is hard.
lol - why would you use mm per minute. ?
Almost impossible to estimate the actual speed. Whereas mm per second. Everyone can look at a ruler and work out how fast something travels in a second.
What's the red dot in the new machine videos ?
Because every gcode file that I've ever seen specifies the linear feed rate in mm/min:
Does your experience differ? Please share. Maybe it's just our firmware flavo(u)r that uses mm/min.Quote:
G1 X134.898 Y125.559 F1500.000 ; move to first perimeter point
G1 X134.678 Y125.367 E134.06120 F1500.000 ; perimeter
G1 X134.434 Y125.228 E134.07645 ; perimeter
G1 X133.641 Y124.383 E134.13941 ; perimeter
G1 X133.437 Y124.052 E134.16051 ; perimeter
That's a positioning light, so you can see what area your work will occupy.
all slicers have a choice of mm per minute and mm per second.
I have no idea why anyone would want mm per min for print speed.
For filament feedrate maybe, but print speed ? makes no sense.
How about that. I've never noticed an option. I don't doubt it's there, though. Maybe I'll look tomorrow.Quote:
