I notice often that slic3r will produce code that can choke my hotend.
I have to carefully limit it's extrusion width on different parts like initial layer, and calculate that with it's first layer height and speed to make sure my hotend can handle it.
Currently my hotend will handle PLA at 660mm^3/min (11 mm^3/sec) which is fast, but not faster than my printer can move...
It does ABS faster though.
A setting for the hotend/printer with limit so that slicer can reduce it's speed to avoid stripping filament or starving head during print would be very usefull.
