Print speed

Was wondering when do you guys generally lower your print speed, during printing tall objects, complex objects, when you get lots of crashes, have multiple parts printing on bed, etc......?

If I'm after finish quality, I slow external perimeters to 20-25mm/s. I keep non-external perimeters to 60-80mm/s. I keep 1st layer at 25mm/s or so. Otherwise, I let the Max volumetric rate setting figure out the speeds. There may be special circumstances where it's necessary to slow speeds, but it really depends on what you're printing.

My notes and disclaimers on 3D printing

by Max volumetric rate you mean Max volumetric speed in (Filament Setting->advanced)

Yes, there for the per-filament setting.
