PrusaSlicer 2.0: how to limit speed for a flex filament
Hopefully this isn't obvious, I have looked myself. Here goes:
I have created a filament profile for some TPU filament and I would like to slow down the print speed for this filament. I don't see an obvious way to set this in the filament profile, only in the print settings. Is there a way to override this per-filament?

lower the volumetric speed. its there someplace, I am not by a slicer to look. I had luck with setting it to 3. I'm sure it can go faster, but 3 worked.
I have a Prusa,therefore I research.

Thanks for the reply. I saw that setting, but I was hoping for a linear measurement because most of the specs for filament are linear, like 30mm/sec or 80mm/sec. I guess I just do layer height x layer width x linear speed.
I think layer width defaults to 0.4-0.45mm

ya its not perfect, when it does change speeds you should see like 50% on the printer. it's odd. but it works. if your using the mmu make sure to slow down the load and unload speed also.

For anyone else that finds this thread, here's the math I ended up using.
- 0.45mm extrusion width. I got this from the "0.20 QUALITY MK3" profile
- 0.20mm layer height. This is the layer height I am using.
w x h = 0.45 * 0.20 = 0.09 square mm. 0.09mm^2
I can then take various linear speeds and get max volumetric speed
- 0.09 x 30mm/sec = 2.7 cubic mm/sec (2.6mm^3)
- 0.09 x 60mm/sec = 5.4 cubic mm/sec (5.4mm^3)
- 0.09 x 80mm/sec = 7.2 cubic mm/sec (7.2mm^3)
Since this Cheetah TPU is rated for 60-80mm, I put 5.4mm / sec in the filament profile's max volumetric speed. When I resliced, I confirmed it is a bit slower than the previous time I sliced.
