Slow printing

I have not had the H2D long (have X1-C for awhile).
First few prints seemed quite normal, but I’m doing a very simple open box 1.5mm thick that is printing what appears to me quite slowly.

I just left settings default for Bambul PLA filament. I do not have time lapse, since I had not put in a USB ‘drive’ yet.

Any ideas? Updated firmare.
I do have a video I took with phone, but see no way to upload.

You can upload an unlisted video to youtube and link it here. Can you upload the .3mf with the print settings so we can review?

Upload the 3mf and we can take a look.

The print profile you’re using (0.08mm extra fine) is quite slow compared to a standard 0.2mm profile. Why are you going so fine with such a simple shape?


For reference, here’s a 0.2mm profile:

And here’s the 0.08mm:

I think that was just the default. I don’t think I paid much attention- this certainly doesn’t need to be anything special and I really should have done it in much less fine settings.
Thanks for pointing that out.

It certainly printed nicely though.

I would hope so! The smoothest poop box you could ask for lol

I’m a little confused now.

Is the H2D slower than the X1C in single-nozzle printing?

It’s clear that it’s faster in multi-color printing.

I saw some “benchmarks” if you can call it like that…
In single printing the H2D is a little slower than the x1c but at 2color printing much faster

try doing a factor reset, I have had an a1 since last year and it just started to slow down to maybe 1/5 the speed (everything, even the flick movement at the end of the purge was slow). I did a factory reset and vibration calibration and now it’s fine again.

No idea why as the logs appear to be encrypted which is bizarre.
Also the default ‘generic pla’ in device settings has about half the volumetric speed of normal filaments (around 10 vs 21). So change that even if you’re not using bambu filament to see if that’s the cause of the problem.

My guess is… you don’t really have exact like for like settings. My calculations say for that to be true, it would need to be a 40-hour print of a reasonably small X/Y print (meaning lots of small but tall items across the entire bed). So, I’m assuming you may have missed an aspect to equalize.

Generally, copy (screenprint button) and paste is the easiest way.

It’s not longer, H2D Prepare and timelapse takes lot more time than X1C while the print time of the model is shorter.

Tested on a simple cube shape.
