Print speed setting

Is there a way to fine tune the print speed?
what I am talking about is speed multiplier can be set to 50% (silent) 100% (standard), 124% (sport), or 166% (ludicrous).
I want to set to 105% to make it get done before I leave. So I can start the next print. I don’t want to degrade the quality by setting it to sport.
This applies to my current print and a lot of other times. but I don’t know how.
I know I could change the speed before I start printing. But I am looking for after the print has started, and I find I need to leave.

I don’t want to remain Silent on this. Not settling for the Standard. Being a Sport and asking. It is Ludicrous to accept. LOL

Speed is set up in the speed tab of Bambu Studio, that is where the fine adjustments can be made.
The block speed changes (SSSL) are fixed multipliers as far as I am aware.

There is another fix for this problem - set your alarm clock to an earlier time, then everything you do will happen a bit earlier :slight_smile:

Or, print at night.

most of the time my printer is running 24-7. so it is running at night already.
There are two ways to speed up the print. one is in the slicer before you start the print. The other is after the print is started.
I think what Rmedias is refering to is the before the print starts setting. If I could forsee the future that would be an option. But what I am refering to is let say I start a print that is expected to take 24 hr. And after the print is started I find that I need to leave at the 23 hr. the only way I know to get it done before I leave is up the speed to sport. This might be too bad of hit in quality. But if I could set it to 105% it would allow me to change the print before I leave.
Other printers allow 10-300% increase in speed. I find that a good way to dial in the number to latter change the print speed for pre-start.

Yes, I was referring to pre print speed settings.

The problem is neither of us can predict the future, like when you need to wait for a print to finish.
I have taken another look at the Bambu wiki, but it looks like specific speed increases during a print are not an option.

If you are running 24/7, one option is to increase all print speeds (before printing) to 105%, getting more throughput without too much of a quality reduction.

Of course the better option would be adding an additional printer, or maybe more than one.

In our business when our 3D printer starts to limit our activities, it is time to add capacity. But our business is not 100% 3D print based.

I am curious why the specific numbers for speed increase. 124%, 166% I suspect they are arbitrary numbers that are a 2 bit hard coded speed multiplier.
I have 4 other printers. Not looking to get more at this time.

In the past with other printers I found it very useful to fine tune the acceptable speed to account for current weather, or factors not in the main settings. Maybe a different brand of filament, or even a different batch of filament. with the 4 settings, for speed it is harder to fine tune the speed. Not impossible, just it removes a useful tool.
I liked to use the multiplier to push the parts when I knew it would affect the quality, but not still be acceptable.

by “2 bit” I am referring to 2 binary bits. giving 4 options: normal, silent, sport, and Ludacris. These 4 multipliers where given a speed multiplier numbers. I don’t know this I only suspect it.
