Topic: Slicer speeds to fast. Help please

Hi new to slic3r here.
I downloaded the newest slicer and input my print project then adjusted printer and print setting to the setting I have found here on the web site.
I then export the Gcode and then use http://www.enoworx.gr/blog/122-using-sl … 3d-printer to convert it to xyz Gcode. .
All seems to work well except the printer in going way way to fast!
So fast that It will tear the machine up. Not sure why?  I have set speeds to 60mm/s and then tried 30mm/s and found no change in the speed? Not sure what I am doing wrong?  help thanks

Screen shot your print speeds. I found that Slowing them down to 10mm/s is best. I used a similar site the posted speeds were still too fast.    Process is as follows

Import to slicer
Change settings
export to g-code
open in notepad ++
add xyz notes
select all
Base 64 Encode
save as   "whatever".3w
load into xyzware.

print-

; filename = composition.3w
; machine = daVinciF10
; material = abs
; layer_height = 0.1
; perimeters = 2
; top_solid_layers = 3
; bottom_solid_layers = 3
; fill_density = 1
; perimeter_speed = 20
; infill_speed = 60
; travel_speed = 130
; nozzle_diameter = 0.4
; filament_diameter = 1.75
; extrusion_multiplier = 1
; perimeters extrusion width = 0.40mm
; infill extrusion width = 0.40mm
; solid infill extrusion width = 0.40mm
; top infill extrusion width = 0.68mm
; support material extrusion width = 0.40mm
; first layer extrusion width = 0.40mm
; total_filament = 1
; extruder = 1




Don't change anything here, as these are JUST NOTES. however you MUST add them to g-code prior to printing.

Just replace C++ line "1" with the notes I just posted.....


clarification ";"= before any command means that its just notes....

You can skip lines 4 to 8 of those instructions by using the hacked version of xyzware.
It does all the conversion work for you and has many other benefits. wink
