Hi all,
I have a Mendel 3 3D Printer, and I was wondering what is the Minimum Speed Limit.
I have found it to be 200 mm/min,(maybe you can confirm), but I would like to go to less than that and I don't find the way to do it.
Does anybody knows how I can maybe sort of hack it to lower its Speed?
Thank you very much,
PrintingDeutsch

For example really viscous Solutions, the flow rate at which they get out of the nozzle is really low so you actually Need slow scan Speeds.
I've searched everywhere but nobody talks about it (and I suppose it's normal as the General objective is to go as fast as possible with the best precision).
But still if anyone know if it's possible to do it it would be of much help!
And thank you Floyd for your answer.

I would be tempted to say there are other methods to achieve the result you want, without using insanely slow speeds. If your material is so viscous, are you even achieving inter layer bonding? Upping the temperature will in most cases (I cant think of one where it doesn't, unless of course you go so high you carbonize the material...) increase flow, letting you print faster and giving better layer bonding.

Your assuming he is trying to extrude plastic or some other material that requires heat to begin flow. There are other applications with paste applicators that wouldn't use heat, but might still use the same setup used in a 3D printer.

You're right that increasing the temperature the viscosity would be lower, but I need the material to hold itself, otherwise the layer printed would just fall appart obtaining not a 3D line but just a flat surface, so I need to keep viscosity high.

alright then I suppose it might be that my 3D Printer can't go slower, or maybe at Settings there's a Limit by defect.|

Not sure what slicer software your using but it was real easy to set to 1mm/sec in Cura. From there I used the LCD knob to lower the speed even more.
I don't think its the slicer Software (slic3r), but the 3D Printer itself (reprap Mendel 3). I'll check if the slicer can have anything to do with it though and tell you about.

In Cura there was maybe 4-6 speed settings that I had to set to 1mm/sec.
Also you could just manually edit the code to drop the feedrate then run it.
Actually, I write the g-code myself (most of the time) so I set the Speed I want. But when going lower than F200, the Printer just keeps going at the same Speed (200mm/min or 3.33mm/sec).
