BL Touch Probes Extremely Slowly

[TRATOON]

@fcwilt I found that number online

[TRATOON]

@fcwilt And it's not just the Z-Axis, whenever I start a print and it starts to home it is very slow when compared to homing it manually.

[TRATOON]

@fcwilt I just changed Z Axis to 500. I got that number from somebody else's config for ender 5 plus (The Z axis on E5 Plus is really slow) And it was all the axis that were going slow not just the z

I would need to see your homing code. The Z axis speed might be limiting homing.

As a reference the Z axis max speed for all my printers is 1200.

I just changed the 500 in m203 to 1200

Also why is it that only when its printing it homes slowly, but when I press the Home All in DWC it works fine? Could it be the GCODE File?

[fcwilt]

@tratoon

It could be. Some slicers have an option to change printer settings, like max speed.

I always disable that feature, if it exists.

You can post the first 50 lines of so of a file you are printing - it will likely be obvious from examining the code if the slicer is messing with your settings.

Your slicer has these speed limiting commands in it's start gcode section. Remove them from the slicer.

[TRATOON]

@phaedrux Now whenever I change the initial layer speed it doesn't work, and prints it at normal speed, which causes adhesion problems.

Where are you changing that layer speed? It should be in the slicer.
