Comment on Issue with print speed slowing to a crawl for no clear reason.

There’s a lot that goes into the print speed, including volumetric flow (measured in mm^3/s) and minimum layer time, used for allowing layers to cool enough before printing the next one so the print doesn’t end up a blob. You want to slice the object and then look at where the speed changes in the preview. That will give you an idea of what’s happening.

Ah! Thank you for the explanation! I will mess around with the slicer previews more, I was actually unaware you could see the speed changes in the preview. I’ve mostly only used it to make sure the printer wasn’t going to try and print in mid air because I dislike printing supports if I don’t have to.
