Finding the right extruder speed!!

Impressive. May I ask you how you even began to come up with that formula? 50 micron is pretty darn good.

Hey mate,

These were data values I got off somewhere I can't remember. I think off a test printing thing on thingiverse? And he stated which speeds he's used for 20 and 50 microns, so I've used that to find a line of best fit for that dataset! I'm in my penultimate year of engineering so this stuff is stuff I do all the time - I just put the values into my calculator, graphed it and used that to find a linear function. It won't be 100% accurate but pretty close - 40mm/s on a replicator 2 at 20 microns is getting long for anything over about a cubic inch or so but the finish is fantastic!
