Hi, I would like to adjust the print speed when printing certain layers which contain threads etc but I cannot see how to do this. Can anyone help? Thanks
Yes - if you right click and add a modifier cube (or cylinder) to the object - then move it and scale it to cover the layers you want a different speed
Then when it you slice it should apply the change just to that area

Brilliant thanks very much, I was sure there was a way to do it (from prusa days ) but couldnāt remember 
ā¦ā¦old age creeping in lol
I suppose you could always create āmouse earsā with very thin cylinders. But I do agree - I tend to mostly use Auto Brim - and let the slicer decide.

Hi mate, any idea how I get the selected area up to the last 10mm of the print height? Every time I try to move it the modifier wonāt let me and If I change it to an object etc it doesnāt let me do the speed thing!!! Thanks
Those types of ābrimsā have been added to Orca Slicer. So Iād guess you should see it soon in Bambu Studio.
Thanks!! but, is there a way to move or snap the modifier cube by layer? It is not easy to place it where you want. Am I missing something? Thanks a lot!!
You could use the variable layer height tool to change layer heights, thereby affecting print speeds that way.
Nah, thats not an option. I need control of the speed specifically in some layers, but keeping the layer height and all other values.

Could you make a modifier and merge it with another modifer at different heights to gwtvthe desired result?
I know this post is old but I canāt find any information or anyone with my same issue. I am trying to run a speed test to see how fast I can print with some Elegoo Rapid PETG and Iām running into an issue with the modifiers. So far I have tried a cube modifier and a height range modifier and adjusted the speed for each one to speed up certain layers in this model I found on MakerWorld. However, whenever I apply the modifier it does not change the speed at all when I slice the model and look at the speeds. Any additional help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Welcome to the forum. Can you upload the .3mf file you are using?
Hi!! You know that the actual speed is limited bby at least 2 factors: volumetric speed, and layer minimum time. May be one or both of those settings are limiting your speed on those layers?
