I recently ran a small test with one of my Cetus printers. Speed against quality. No doubt (again) that high speed and best quality do not hold hands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am saying \u201cbest\u201d quality. High speed and \u201cacceptable\u201d are friends, they get no where close to \u201cbest\u201d quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Printing FDM at high speeds is much improved with the new hardware I have seen released in year 2022. But the results are still not in the best category. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s the quantum dynamics of the FDM process that are to blame. Heat transfer in the extruder and inertial vibration in rapid directional changes in moving parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Slower will always be \u201cbetter\u201d (in quality of the print) along with the lowest layer height possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I see newbies in the user forums buying printers for their speed. Then expecting outstanding print quality. I am certain they will be disappointed when the print results will be much better when running this new hardware at far lower speeds than the published maximum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The high speed will get the print made. For most applications the quality will be adequate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have seen the example prints this new hardware has produced. The quality is far from perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have invested in some of the newer hardware. A Snapmaker F1 IDEX and the CETUS2 dual filament single nozzle. I have a prototype CETUS2 but the SF1 IDEX and the production CETUS2 are still shipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will have more experience after I use these new printers. But I don\u2019t expect my opinion that \u201cslower is better\u201d will change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
