Printing speed variation through time in Filament Fusion Fabrication 3D printing

[vladimir]

I want to buy a CNC plywood laser cutter some day.

I'm looking to buy a CTC here very soon, how's the printer run? For $450 usd on E-bay new, it seem's great . I currently have the flashforge creator pro

The $450. CTC is a Very Good printer,
with a couple of modifications needed.
Such as : wire-guide-bracket on top of extruder assembly
and stiffeners on bed-plate-platform
Both can be downloaded from thingiverse and printed.

Note: The wire-guide is a 'Must have', or thermocouple wires will brake.
(so, make it one of first things you print )
platform stiffeners are not necessary but make it much more stable

Note: there are other versions of this guide but this is the best one

simplify 3d lets you do that :-)

It also automatically adjusts print speed according to what's being printed anyway.

But you can set different resolutions/speeds/infill etc for any part of the print.

What version of the program do you have?

Here is a screenshot of the program. Where is variable speed? Is it what I surrounded in blue rectangle or is there another setting?

Thank you.

the 'variable' speed is applied by having multiple processes for a particular print.

But like I said it automatically adjusts speed according to the complexity of the print.
click the 'prepare to print' button and the resulting coloured sliced model shows you the different speeds by colour variation.

The platform stiffener and wire guide my flashforge creator x actually comes with. Only thing i had to do to it was add active cooling on the print area.
