Some excellent tips here, especially the color changing. Thanks for posting!

[@3DPrintStuff]

Glad you enjoyed it!

the reason for minimum layer time is to give the plastic time to cool down to close to glass transition temperature. you dont want to stack layer on soft material if you want to keep quality and geometrie.
if you dont need multiple objects (which is the easiest way.. print two instead of one.. solved) just add a simple "waste" tower. cube object with at least the same height as your tallest object, 1-2 walls, no infill, no top surface. the time it takes to print this part and the movement to reach it is often enough... and it costs only a few grams.

Thank you! It's been valuable!
1. chaging filament color is a right click and all the list long away, by menu. Even slower if one right clicks on the color square. So this for me is quite a game changer.
2. Soooo you just draw a dot on the corner and Studio applies the seam there on all the Z of the selected corner? I don't draw seams so much, but when I had to its been a pain so again, thanks!
3. Would have been useful a lot but I had to find it my way. It's there for a reason and in general it gives the plastic time to settle before the next layer. I found so while setting it off ("Don't slow down to cool layers" selected) and obtained a blob of plastic instead of the last 10mm in Z of the object.
If you're chasing speed you can get very very close to normal speed in PLA. it always depend on the object's shape
In PETG tho I start seeing non-uniformities compared to the previous layer, if do let it slow down (so the "slow down" option above is unchecked) but set "min printing speed" over 36 mm/s (default sets to 20). The object is kinda the area of a thumbprint, so unless you have smaller object you should be safe pumping that at 30-33 mm/s, petg.

🤘BITCHIN🤘The matt vs glossy bit is really good to know. Great vid👍👍

[@3DPrintStuff]

🤘Thanks man, glad you liked it.

[@tehhamstah]

This is great - keep this kind of video coming!

[@3DPrintStuff]

Thanks, will do!

[@measureonceprinttwice]

The just released Orca Slicer has the option to 'Allow opt-out outer walls when adjusting speed for "slow-down for layer cooling"' which may be a better option for outer walls visual consistency :)

[@3DPrintStuff]

That sounds like it's the best of both worlds. I'll have to check that out.

[@AHoboWithAStick]

Love the 3d tip islands layout 😂

[@3DPrintStuff]

Thanks 😅

[@DONphantasmo]

Damn... What a great video!!! I learned a lot

[@3DPrintStuff]

Glad you learned something.

[@xpainkillerx3143]

Instead of decreasing the minimum layer print time, it is better to change the print speed of the outer perimeter. This will improve the appearance but will not risk the detail as a whole.

[@3DPrintStuff]

That is what I offered as a solution in this video: th-cam.com/video/J_pxk7HP3RE/w-d-xo.html but many people wanted me to use minimum layer time as the solution so that's how it ended up in this 3 tips video. It's really just depends on the situation.
