Re: speeding up prints

Not only that, but alot of your prints might be able to be printed at higher speeds as well.  I use the "Speed Multiply" slider in RH Print Panel section to turn up speeds in real-time during the print.

Printing at .1mm while you are starting out sounds like a hellish way to learn and calibrate.
