Any way to adjust first layer speed for perimeter and infill separately?

I've got my printers running between 18-25mm/s for the first layer, because I want to ensure things stick well, and at faster speeds I sometimes get problems.  However, what's important here is mostly the perimeters.  When it comes to the infill, it could go faster and still be reliable.  For the rest of the layers, you can set speeds separately for the different feature types.  Is there any way to get the infill to print faster than the perimeters on the first layer?

Not in Prusa Slicer.  First layer speed is a distinct thing and applies to it all.

This is a bummer, I feel like I could cut off 30+ minutes per print job on a lot of things if I could get the infill to print faster than the perimeters.  Oh well.

You could possibly do it using the post processing functionality but you would have to write some script to do so.

Go to Print Settings/Speed/Modifiers/First layer speed: and change it to 100% make sure to add the %. Then add a Height range modifier to the first layer, you can simply right click on the object and add Height range modifier, set the range from 0 to 0.2 or whatever the height of your first layer is. Then add the features you want to control the speed of to the modifier, for example External perimeters, perimeters, Small perimeters, Solid infill etc, then you can set the speed of the first layer features separately to anything you like, and they will be respected by the slicer.

Make sure your slicer is in Expert mode so you can access all  the settings.

 

You should be good.

That's a great solution.  I hadn't thought about doing it that way, but now I'm going to give it a try, thanks!

Thank you! I had to make an account just to write that you saved me from spending $200 on simplify3D. It's such a weird workaround but it works!

Your welcome, I know a great deal more about Prusa slicer but have refrained from offering the information based on the general information the average user has here (hobbyists with little or no knowledge). I call them Sheep, and they make it very difficult to express pertinent information here. In most cases I would be considered a user with an attitude by the hobbyists for expressing what I know to the masses. Some have even called me a trouble maker. There loss. I have many such work rounds 2.6 is junk and I mean that sincerely.
