Topic: Filastruder is extruding slow

What do I change to increase the extension speed? All else is working well. Getting like 5-10 in/min

Re: Filastruder is extruding slow

It briefly discusses this in the assembly instructions. You can also bump the temps up a little, but this can start effecting the diameter of your filament.

Re: Filastruder is extruding slow

5-10 inches/minute can be normal/maximum speed, depending on the material, diameter, and extrusion temperature.
