Change print speed or resolution while printing

Hello!

Can I change the print speed or resolution during printing?
I want to print the top n-layers of an object slower or with higher resolution than the previous layers.

RE: Change print speed or resolution while printing

Good morning Olaf, 
you can change print speed during printing, by changing the feed rate using the LCD knob. 
or if you want to set a speed change to happen automatically, you can add the 'Gcode' 

M220 S75 ; to change feed rate to 75% of programmed speed

using the 'Add another code' option, on the sliced model layer height bar.   for more inffo, see...

https://help.prusa3d.com/article/insert-pause-or-custom-g-code-at-layer_120490

you can change layer height during slicing too, see 'Variable Layer Height',,,

Hello Joan,

Thanks very much.
GCode would have been the solution. Unfortunately, I found out from your link that this is not possible with sequential printing, and that's exactly what I use.

Greeting,
Olaf
