Simplify3D settings for MK3

So I've just recieved my i3 mk3, and I'm super happy with it, but I'm a long time user of Simplify3D and to be honest I don't know that much about speed and what I should or shouldn't be playing around with. I'm still using the official i3 mk2 profile that Joseph posted, but after seeing that there's a speed improvement in Slic3r I'm wondering if there's something I can change in Simplify3D to make my prints go faster?

These are the only settings I seem to find for speed.

I'll be honest, I see why Joseph likes Slic3r, there seems to be more going on under the hood that you can tinker with. Simplify seems to live up to it's 'simple' nature in comparison, but my question still remains. Are there settings here that I could tweak to get the most out of this new printer?

Also, before I get any 'just switch to Slic3r' comments, I'm sorry, the program bugs me way too much to switch.

However, any and all advice is super appreciated!

Re: Simplify3D settings for MK3

I tried to install the Prusa edition software. I could not get it to work for me. I has some problems with Slic3r too. I could not get it to slice a model for the MK3. I have been using Simplify3d.

These the setting I came up with based on one of the .gcode files sent with the printer.

Re: Simplify3D settings for MK3

Hi Donnie,
Just having a quick look at your settings and they are most certainly wrong. The printing speed is too slow and Z axis is way too fast.
