Maybe this is a general question, but it's an i3 that I have!

Is there any established method for determining the maximum optimal print speed. I need to print a number of similar things and the quicker I can get through it the better!

I know I can change the settings in Slic3r however I'm not sure what the best speed settings are. Is there even a rough guide anywhere?

There is an inverse relationship between print speed and quality.

The maximum print speed will depending on factors (i.e. thin walls, overhangs, fill requirements, supports) of the object itself, as well as the capabilities of the printer.
