The speed at which our 3D printer (or any CNC machine) moves is better described as 'feedrate'. Like any speed measurement, it is a calculation of distance travelled over time. In 3D printing, the most common feedrate units are mm/sec and mm/min.

Most of the time, we want to print as fast as possible, at least up to the point where print quality deteriorates beyond our personal threshold.

Surface artefacts related to feedrate

-

Some printers may have a combination of hardware and software that produces noise or surface artefacts with feedate as a factor. This is the case for the image submitted by midicdj1000, where a chnge in feedrate for the outer walls alters the pattern on this surface:

Some printers may have a combination of hardware and software that produces noise or surface artefacts with feedate as a factor. This is the case for the image submitted by midicdj1000, where a change in feedrate for the outer walls alters the pattern on this surface:

The test on this page is therefore useful for finding an ideal feedrate for outer wall surface quality.
