DEFAULT SPEED

Gianluca

I can't find where to set the movement speed of the axes after homig (Movement of the axes from paneldue or from DWC). I'd like to decrease the Z-axis default speed and increase the x and y speed. Where can I find instructions for doing this? Grazie

@Gianluca Default speeds are generally held in config.g, using Gcodes M566 (maximum instantaneous speed change), M203 (maximum speed) and M201 (acceleration). Probably best to set the speeds you want there, then in your homing files (homex.g, homey.g, homez.g and homeall.g) set the maximum speed for homing of the relevant axes at the beginning, and revert them at the end. Then these special speeds just for homing are limited to just homing.

Note that some slicers also put in M204 to limit acceleration per move, which overrides the defaults you set in config.g.

@droftarts Yes, this is information I already know. However, even if in my config.g I set M203 for Y and Ya 25000mm/min when I move the axes manually with DWC or Paneldue, they move much slower. Maybe they take the speed of the last homig?

@Gianluca DWC has a default move speed of 6000 mm/min and that can be changed on the Settings -> Machine-Specific page.

@chrishamm Thanks, that's what I was looking for! It would be useful to have separate speeds for X+Y and Z... Do you know if there is a similar setting in Paneldue?

@Gianluca Let's see what @mfs12 says. Ideally, the maximum Z speed is limited by your config, so the Z moves would use that as the maximum even if the G0/G1 command requests a higher feedrate.

@chrishamm yes, I understand, thank you. You can mark it as solved.
