Looking for a new 3d printer

[cf_pro]

the corexy design is easily the fastest of current fdm designs. And there are some big print volumes and decent machines around.

Speed is partly determined by the printer's mechanocs and partly by the actual print settings.

For example the same model that takes1 hour at 0.3mm layer height will take 3 hours at 0.1mm layer height.
The more shells you use the longer it takes and the more plastic you use.
The higher the infill - the longer it takes.

You can also use different diameter nozzles.
A 0.5mm nozzle is capable of almost the same level of detail as a 0.4mm nozzle.
But will print at 0.4mm layer height and will give you a thicker shell for fewer layers.
So something as simple as switching from 0.4mm to 0.5mm can ncrease printing speed by as much as 30% with little loss of quality.

Larger nozzles don't necessarily keep speeding things up.
The larger the bead the faster you need to cool it to avoid it deforming before it sets. So - machine dependant you actually print slower with larger nozzles.

The whole thing is a balance between how fast you can lay down a bead of molten plastic and how fast you can cool it.

what country are you in ? - so i know which amazon shop to look in :-)

Thanks for that info!
I am in California, USA
