Printer suddenly running very slowly
-
I have a D-bot that has been running fine on a Duet HC6 for a couple of years. For some reason, it has started running extremely slowly. I kicked off a print, and at first I thought it wasn't working at all, but then I noticed that the bed was rising very very slowly for the z probe. After that, it went ahead an printed but again, very very slowly. I'm not sure what's going on. The D-bot is a corexy printer and normally prints pretty quickly.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

@TechButterfly a common cause of this is that the slicer you are using has inserted M203 commands into the GCode file, and has specified the values in mm/sec instead of mm/min. Which slicer did you use to prepare the GCode file?

@dc42 I am using prusaslicer, but I do have multiple configs and sometimes forget which one I'm supposed to be using - I will check for what units it's using. Thanks!

You could share your config.g and a sample gcode file that has the problem.

In Prusaslicer there is an option for how to use the acceleration and speed settings that you configure. Set it to use those figures to estimate print time but not to write them to the GCode file.
