[solved] Approach to first printed path is wicked slow Hi everyone, as i'm getting my Sells and Skeinforge dialed in and solid, there's one more bug (?) that i haven't squashed. The gcode Skeinforge generates looks like this: ...start.gcode G90 G21 M103 M105 M106 M140 S122.0 M141 S30.0 M142 S0.0 M113 S1.0 M108 S38.0 M104 S237.0 M108 S13.68 and then this: G1 X36.33 Y85.1 Z0.2 F60.0 F60 is way too slow, it can take around two minutes for the head to travel to the start position. Normally i travel at F18000 and the print always rolls down just fine and with the right speed. Ideas?

I don't think disabling initial feed will mess up anything, and z feed shouldn't make much of a difference time-wise either since z moves are always less than a fraction than a second.]]> imitation Skeinforge Sat, 24 Sep 2011 16:14:04 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,98740,98787#msg-98787 Re: [solved] Approach to first printed path is wicked slow https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,98740,98787#msg-98787 Anyway you shouldnt let fw handle all speed control. That will mess up duration based calcs in skeinforge..
Always use reasonable values.]]> ahmetcemturan Skeinforge Sat, 24 Sep 2011 13:08:15 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,98740,98767#msg-98767 Re: Approach to first printed path is wicked slow https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,98740,98767#msg-98767 Disabling Limit did the trick:
G1 X69.62 Y92.45 Z0.2 F751100.3928
Sprinter is set up for my maximum X/Y/Z/E Speeds, so this should work.

Thanks again!

as i'm getting my Sells and Skeinforge dialed in and solid, there's one more bug (?) that i haven't squashed. The gcode Skeinforge generates looks like this:

...start.gcode
G90
G21
M103
M105
M106
M140 S122.0
M141 S30.0
M142 S0.0
M113 S1.0
M108 S38.0
M104 S237.0
M108 S13.68
and then this:
G1 X36.33 Y85.1 Z0.2 F60.0

F60 is way too slow, it can take around two minutes for the head to travel to the start position. Normally i travel at F18000 and the print always rolls down just fine and with the right speed.

Ideas?

Thanks,
