Should I print at a high speed or a low speed—and why?

First of all, we don’t directly recommend a specific speed, whether fast or slow.
It all depends on your printer’s capabilities. The goal is to help you get the best possible quality or the best practical result from your machine.

Since most modern printers support high speeds, let’s talk about the differences so you can decide what works best for you.

High speeds always save time, but for some people, speed doesn’t really matter. Maybe they don’t have a lot of print jobs, or their deadlines are flexible. In those cases, they can simply leave the printer running overnight—just like factories that use large industrial printers.

On the other hand, in some machines, high speed can be a downside. Some printers don’t support resume, so if the power goes out, the print won’t continue and you’ll lose all the material that was already printed.

Still, high speeds are great for certain jobs. They allow you to print large parts with excellent quality in much less time—and that’s literally a money-saving advantage.

You can even build a small production line or a print farm using multiple fast printers.

Slow speeds, honestly, can sometimes cause warping or bending of parts because the print stays on the bed for a long time, increasing the chance that it will detach.

However, some complex parts actually need lower speeds to achieve clean and accurate results.

And some materials require slower printing so they have enough time to cool down properly.

So tell us—what do you think works best for you?
Would you choose a fast printer or a regular one?
