Feed speed of extruder DWS
-
Is there a way to view how fast the extruder is feeding similar to how there is a display for the movement speed?
Thanks

Well usually for an extruder it should be as fast as it's commanded. The display for the XY makes more sense because the commanded speed isn't always attainable due to acceleration and jerk limitations, which are not as severe for an extruder.
Why do you ask?

There would likely be a scaling issue. IIRC, the web interface displays speeds as integers but given that for print moves, the extruder runs at single digit percentages of the carriage speed, then the displayed extruder speed would need to report to 1 or 2 decimal places for it to be meaningful. Otherwise, it would mostly show zero speed. I'd guess that's probably doable but might involve a lot of work.

@deckingman that’s a good point but for those of us running big printers I’m usually above 1mm/s so it would t be a problem for me and likely others.
