I recently decided to upgrade my software for my Flashforge 3D printer from Makerware to some open source program that is being updated.

After a thorough search I didn't find any programs that offer variable speed settings throughout the print.

So I started wondering, how difficult is it to write a program that will slice the model onto variable height slices and vary the print speed as the printer prints near the table, in the middle of the part or up high.
GUI for this feature may look something like a color and transparency slider used for the gradient coloring in Adobe products.

This can solve a lot of curling, warping and peeling issues and reduce the wear and tear on the machine.

If one is printing an arch that is supported by two columns, the columns are vertical and can have lower resolution than the arch in some cases.
I am not a computer programmer and I dont have time for such large projects. I wish I could do it.
