<p>How do I speed up prints for the Monoprice Select IIIP Plus printer?</p>

<p>The manual shows [Cura] examples of:</p>

<ul>
<li>Print speed: 50mm/s</li>
<li>Travel Speed: 80mm/s</li>
<li>Bottom Layer Speed: 20mm/s</li>
<li>Infill Speed: 50mm/s</li>
<li>Outer shell speed: 15mm/s</li>
<li>Inner shell speed: 30mm/s</li>
</ul>

<p>However, this doesn’t line up with their advertisements online of a 150mm/s printing speed.</p>

<p>Are there better settings to use, especially ones which can speed up printing time? Or are there any other measures which I can take in order to reduce printing time in general? </p>

These would rest either on the bed, or on the nozzle itself. The ones on the bed would grow taller than layer height, making the next pass of the nozzle bump against it, further depositing material on it. The clumps on the nozzle would drop at other points, leaving stringing filament all over, and further compromising the next pass of the head.</p>\n\n<p>This might seem like a bed adhesion problem, but the prints were <em>very</em> well attached to the bed; I had to apply a lot of force to remove a 15*15cm square from the bed.</p>\n\n<p>Increasing the hot-end temperature seemed to help; at some point we were printing at 230C, well beyond Hatchbox\' extrusion temperature range (range is listed as 180C-210C for this PLA batch).</p>\n\n<p>Ultimately, reducing print speed to the settings listed helped us increase print quality back to acceptable levels.</p>\n'}]
