Delta Printer Speed test

thingiverse

An advanced iterative test suite for delta printers is implemented to check skipped steps and maximize achievable speeds. Print Settings: Printer: Delta Mini-Kossel Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 1% Notes: Test settings include a minimum infill percentage, a maximum number of top layers and one bottom layer. This test model was specifically designed for use in no-extrude mode and pushes the delta printer's capabilities to its limits by generating alternating short straight segments with increasingly unpredictable paths in between. Key metrics to optimize are acceleration, jerkiness, and print speed in sequence. Start optimizing acceleration between 500mm/sec^2 and 1000mm/sec^2 until either maximum improvement is reached or skipped steps appear. Reduce acceleration by ten percent as soon as skipped steps emerge and lower jerk values analogously. Upon attaining optimal acceleration and jerk values, gradually increase the print/movement speed in the slicing software while decreasing both acceleration and jerk by fifty percent initially and incrementally boosting them upwards to achieve new limits.
