Anyone else thing an 'intricate' preset should be added?

After a ton of teething issues at the start of the year I’m so pleased with how well the software and firmware have developed and I feel we’re finally at a point where this thing will literally deal with anything! But one thing I noticed it’s still not great at is when the 3D model is small with intricate details. I think much of this is down to the sheer speed the printer aims to complete the job in.

I understand we can manually adjust travel speeds etc but I was thinking it’d be a good idea to have an intricate setting in the presets which would slow the printer down and produce a more deliberate result.

Make your own preset - slower speeds, 0.08mm layers, 0.2mm nozzle…

All the variables you need are there, just set and save them as you wish.

I’m honestly not sure what speeds to set though, I think that’s part of the reason I was asking lol

Take an example like this and apply the settings.

Have fun!

That’s exactly the sort of thing I was looking for thanks so much! I can finally try my 0.2mm hotend

You don’t really need to adjust anything. Flow rate limits for the 0.2mm are much smaller compared to the 0.4mm presets, so it will slow down when needed.

One trick you can use - set layer width to 0.3mm. It usually works just fine and looks great especially for first layer (but it doesn’t always like to stick to the bed, so check the first layer quality before it gets higher).
