My question is what happens to the machine, and is mine about to die, since I've been printing at these speeds for so long?
Thanks
Missed this one originally, sorry..

I wondered about that also. When you hit default in makerware, its feeding at 90ms.

Can any of you guys print that fast? and I mean actually in some form of decent quality? I sure can't Since it is makerware, and was designed for makerbots I really did not read too much into that default setting, I just played with them until I literally found the magic setting for each print.

Honestly, the best I can get from my Flashforge is 75ms feed and 120 travel at 0.3mm.

If I try and print at 0.2mm using the same settings, the print is not good.

So far the fastest I can print is on the kossel, which Im up to 110ms feed and 150 travel, and still stable printing aiming for 120ms, but needed a geared stepper to go above 70-80ms
