I've been printing a lot of organizer bins recently...some standard cubes, some custom sized to fit an existing bin...right now it's these blue bins to fit into some existing Husky organizers to divide the bins up for denser storage:
The inside of the gray husky bin is roughly 2.5" so these are sized to drop down snugly inside
I've got a fair number I want to print so have been speeding up the Prusa in order to try and run them faster and was hitting a limit that no matter what I did to settings I couldn't get past around 50mm/s speed. I had primarily been printing a single pair at a time as I finalized sizing then was testing results of speed increases but this shows the "visualizer" of speed it was printing at:
The max speed settings are set far higher, and the hot end volumetric limit wasn't close to being hit either until I stumbled on a post online(thanks Reddit) reminding about auto cooling:
Boom....light bulb clicked. The print time per layer, which was made worse by trying to go faster and only printing (2) bins was throttling down the machine so that there was more time for the layer to cool before the next layer was piled on. PLA needs a lot more cooling than some filaments, so that made it worse as well
Uncheck auto cooling and boom....
Went from 56 min to 41 min with a single click...nice! These aren't cosmetic parts so they won't be as good of results as had I kept it slower, and I'm running a .6 Bondtech CHT nozzle at an elevated temp(225) to allow greater total filament flow to allow to max this out like is shown...but for what this is it's a nice improvement and close to 2x as fast as at stock settings with a .4mm nozzle.
It's not Bambu X1 speed....but I hope to give it a try in the Voron here soon and see what it can do
