💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using a word like 'fast' instead of a numeric value.

Using variable names instead of actual speed values.

The print speed is usually set as a number representing millimeters per second (mm/s). Here, 60 mm/s is a typical print speed value.

Complete the code to set the acceleration value for the printer's movement.

3D Printing

acceleration = [1]  ;  // acceleration in mm/s²

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using variable names instead of numeric values.

Using descriptive words like 'fast' instead of numbers.

Acceleration is set as a numeric value in millimeters per second squared (mm/s²). 1000 mm/s² is a common acceleration setting for 3D printers.

Fix the error in the code to correctly set the maximum print speed.

3D Printing

max_speed = [1]  ;  // max speed in mm/s

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using strings like "fast" instead of numbers.

Using variable names instead of numeric values.

The maximum print speed should be a numeric value. Using 120 mm/s is a valid maximum speed setting.

Fill both blanks to create a dictionary of speeds for different printer parts.

3D Printing

speeds = {"extruder": [1], "bed": [2]  ;  // speeds in mm/s

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using variable names instead of numbers.

Using the same speed for both parts without reason.

The extruder speed is set to 50 mm/s and the bed speed to 70 mm/s. Both are numeric values representing speed in millimeters per second.

Fill all three blanks to create a dictionary with acceleration settings for axes.

3D Printing

acceleration_settings = {"x": [1], "y": [2], "z": [3]  ;  // acceleration in mm/s²

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using strings instead of numbers or variables.

Using the same acceleration for all axes without reason.

The dictionary keys are axes 'x', 'y', and 'z'. The values are numeric accelerations: 1000 mm/s² for y, 600 mm/s² for z, and 'accel' is a variable representing acceleration for x.
