Printing parts for the Robot project. I am amazed this printer gets away with Cura set at 150mm/s in this kind of quality. I feel really sorry for all the 3D hubs that invested thousands of dollars in 3D printers the last years. My printer has allready payed for tself by making four parts for my robot... :)

I have timed and measured a bit to see what actual speed is, and the 150mm/s is only happening on travel and on "half passes" where a wall is first made from one pass at 0.4mm width and then a "half pass" of some 0.2mm width. Infill is really hard to judge, but I guess your actual speeds will be limited by nozzle size and whatever max speeds you have set in Marlin config.

I have done a couple of prints that consists of 80 grams PLA that Cura calculated to take 7 hours and 45 minutes, and they took 8 hours and 37 minutes. The speeds was set at 150 for infill, travel and print. 50 for top bottom. The differences in actual print speeds was as good as not affected by wall thickness, other than Cura thought 1mm walls would print faster than 0.8mm walls.

Look for the long movements both on outer walls and on MG995 "pockets" in this print to see 150mm/s.

Nozzle (E3Dv6 clone) spurts out precice PLA. High speeds shakes the floor, but printer does not slip or miss anything. I highly recommend this thing if you are able to strengthen frame like I did or in some other way. Also, the nozzle might part of the quality, but I have never tried the stock one and couldnt tell.

Xsteps/mm: 100.00
Ysteps/mm: 100.00
Zsteps/mm: 400.00
Esteps/mm: 101.00 (not in this video but after Bowden)

I will not bore you with the 2.5h full video of this print, but I have included screenshots from Cura for anyone who wants the settings at the end of video. Also, you may download Cura settings (.inifile in a rararchive) or the three screenshots here:
