hard📝 Application Q8 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Identify how to control print speed in G-code
F parameter in G1 commands controls feed rate (speed).Step 2: Apply speed change only to first layer commands
Manually edit only first layer G1 commands to have lower F values.Final Answer:
Insert a lower F value in G1 commands only for the first layer -> Option AQuick Check:
Slow first layer = Lower F in G1 commands [OK]
Quick Trick: Adjust F speed in G1 commands for layer speed control [OK]
Common Mistakes:
- Changing temperature instead of speed for adhesion
- Turning off fan without speed adjustment
- Using G28 repeatedly which homes axes, not speed
