Set print speed

Is there an easy way to set print speed BEFORE printing either via the control panel or in Slic3r? I know you can set the print speed on the control panel AFTER the print has started, but is there a place to set it before? I know speed settings can be individually set within Slic3r also...I was just curious if there is an easier way to slow the whole print operation down below 100% for very tiny detailed parts for example. Thanks in advance!

❓ I'm befused. 😕 Didn't you just answer your own question?

Yes, you can set print speeds in Slic3r. Be sure to do this before slicing (or slice it again after changing any settings). Print speed settings can be found on the Print Settings tab, fifth page down--Speed.

That's "MISTER Old Fart" to you!

Hello Rufus...no I do not believe I answered my own question. As I did mention, I am aware of the various granular individual speed setting for all of the different speed parameters, but this is quite cumbersome if you just want to do an overall speed slowdown for a very tiny detailed part for example. I was hoping for an option like the control panel speed setting that is available AFTER printing has started where you can just adjust all speed settings inclusively by a percentage rather than having to tinker with each of 21 speed settings that you reference. It just seems odd that you can do a percentage slowdown in the control panel easily just by selecting your speed percentage, but there is no way to do the same before printing unless I am missing something. Hopefully that clarifies my question.

Spin the front knob during the print to adjust speeds.
