Topic: Speeds in Slic3r

I finally upgraded my firmware from the original sprinter to Marlin from Lawsy's update because I wanted to use Slic3r and Repetier Host. I noticed that the printer is slower using the slic3r configuration than Skeinforge. What print speeds are being used successfully in the print settings in Slic3r? I followed Ian's great walkthrough and I either missed this setting or it wasn't mentioned. I know from some of the posts that others are successfully printing at higher speeds than the defaults.

Re: Speeds in Slic3r

The obvious thing is the travel speed, bump it up to 150mm/s.

You can probably bump up the infill a bit as well, at least 60mm/s.

Re: Speeds in Slic3r

There has been a lot of talk about speed lately. Perhaps someone can come up with a profile optimized for fast prints?
