Print Speed
I have not seen anything regarding print speed.
What is being targeted? What range can Prusa speak to with 90% confidence?
For this kind of money, I would hope it beats the large format Deltas on the market now.
RE: Print Speed
As i remember from one of the interviews, Joseph said the XL wouldn't be super fast. They're after quality and accuracy.
RE: Print Speed
At least in my work I found that the only way to really get faster is through bigger nozzles. Moving the head faster helps, but especially if you are swinging out a lot of material things get goopy and ugly fast. For bigger things, I guess where you really want to go fast, it might not matter that much. Where the tool change makes this interesting is if you could put a small nozzle on one head and have that for printing normal stuff and then having one of the high throughput large nozzle ones be able to be selected. To me that’s the answer to the speed while trying to keep appropriate quality.
RE:
Agreed. I also want to try different for different stages/parts. Cheap filament and large nozzle for infill and supports, soluble for support interface, and color changes of course.
RE: Print Speed
I guess it makes sense to get multiple heads even if color/material change is not a thing, big ass nozzle and high speed material laydown, like loading different tools in a milling machine. hogging tools and detail tools.
