I can also confirm that there is no noticeable surface quality change after printing the same part with a printing speed increased 125%. The only observed difference is a weight change of 3%. The part with normal printing speed had a weight of 12.8gr, whereas the speedy part weighted 13.4gr. ABS was used for both parts.

It seems that there is no need to increase printing speed. Thanks again for the valuable info.

I was also not aware of this until recently, but in m200's "Normal" quality mode, Z-Suite already uses the highest possible (8000mm/min) movement speed for X/Y/Z jumps (movements without extrusion). This seems to be on par with the m300's "Draft speed".
I haven't analyzed this in detail, but a quick comparison between High and Normal quality for the m200 looks a bit like like a comparison between "Normal" and "Draft" Quality on the m300.
E.g. Jumps (no extrusion) are increased from 5400mm/min to 8000mm/min in both cases.
Actually the m200's "Normal" profile seems to be a bit faster than the m300's "Draft" profile.
E.g. it increases the speed for visible infill is increased from 2400mm/min ("High" quality) to 2880mm/min ("Normal quality"), while the m300's "Draft" profile just increases the speed for invisible infill from 2200mm/min to 2400mm/min.
A full comparison of profiles would be a lot of work, but I guess that goes to show that the m200's "Normal" profile might be even a bit faster than the m300 "Draft" profile. To my surprise, to say the least.

So if I should add a 125% maximum speed setting, I'd still need to limit the maximum speed to 8000mm/min...

Nice piece of info. I had no idea about the printing speed, in terms of real numbers, of m200. Regarding the maximum speed, is it gonna trigger an error if for any reason printing speed exceeds 8000mm/min?

It would be very interesting to see how is the surface quality affected by the speed increment. Also, some materials can be printed using higher speeds. Anyway, I would really like to reduce the printing time in some circumstances, so it would be a useful add-on.

Just being curious. Is it possible to increase printing speed?

Hi Julia,

Did you notice an uneven filament extrusion (see the attached photos)?
Also the treed support told me that the best temperature printing range is between 275-295°C!

Has anyone tried this material? I'm constantly having clogs whatever I try (different temps, larger nozzles).

Dear Julia,

Thanks for the info.

Hi all,

During the mounting of the dual fan, the crimp of one of the cables (I think this one goes to the hot end) broke. Can someone inform me about the name of the connector in order to search for an appropriate crimp?
