I sliced the same model twice, once for a Prusa I3 and a Wanhou I3. The settings for both other than print/infill speed. The Prusa is set to 75 and the Wanhou is set to 80. The print time for the Prusa is 22 hours using 318 grams of filament. The Wanhou print time is 37 hours using 537 grams of filament. Can anyone explain what is going on here? The SLOWER print speed is 15 hours shorter than the FASTER print speed.
Hello. We have analyzed slicing profile settings that were used for creating gcode files.
You have Shell thickness (mm) parameter 2 for Wanhou and 0.8 for Prusa. There are some other parameters that are different too. But please try to slice with same Layer thickness (mm), Shell thickness (mm), Infill (%) params.
It is unbelievable that such a large gap can occur. The printing speed and the amount of filament used are related to the printing temperature and filament flowability. Lower printing temperatures may lead to poorer filament flowability, requiring more time to complete printing. I don’t know which material you are currently using, but due to PETG’s low shrinkage rate, the risk of warping and deformation during printing is reduced, making it suitable for faster printing speeds.
