How do the quality and speed settings in Cura affect your prints? Get smooth 3D prints by adjusting your Cura slicer settings.
In this 3 part series, I will teach about each Cura setting and show you test prints that show exactly how each setting affects your prints. There's a lot to learn when using a 3D slicer like Cura, so I am breaking down all the main settings that I believe you should pay attention to.
This video is all about the quality and speed settings in Cura. The quality can truly affect the details of your prints. I show you examples of what different quality settings can do to the details on 3D prints and exactly what that looks like. I also show how speed can affect your print quality with example prints that are printed on a slower setting, and what it looks like when you print fast.
I printed all my test prints on my Ender 3 Pro 3D printer. However, by the end of this tutorial series, you will have an understanding of how each setting works and how to adjust them to get the best 3D prints.

i really love how you actually printed things at the settings you're talking about so that we can see the difference. wish you showed more than just layer height and print speed, but still, thank you for the video.
I've been printing now for 3 years and acquired a second printer which meant double the frustration. Your videos have really help, I'll let you know....Thank you
That’s awesome I’m really glad I could help! Best of luck with your second printer. Be careful the second printer is a gateway drug. Once you have two you need three…
You will minimize those frustrations if the second (third, fourth...) printer is the same make and model as number one.
@@timrobinson7152 why would anyone ever want the same printer. other than print farms? most people get another printer for an upgrade
Definitely, you are one of the best 3D printing subscriptions on UA-cam.
Wow! Thanks so much means a lot. Hope this video was helpful.
for some reason you always upload these videos with very good timing lol. I was experimenting with paints and you uploaded the painting tutorial. Now I want to fiddle with the cura setting to get better prints, you uploaded this video. Thanks!!
😂🤣😂 I guess I’m a mind reader and didn’t know it. I’m really glad your liking them. The next video drops today at noon EST.
Starting messing with VR sculpting recently... Now I gotta figure out how to print 'em!!
That’s awesome. That would be sweet to print. Hope these videos help you!
Your videos are the most straight-forward for a noob like me. Thanks for all you do!
i love that you respond to every one as well! you rock!
I try. You have blown up my feed 😂🤣😂
i have no idea why, but hearing your voice just makes feel soothed.
Lol thanks. I guess I might have a career in ASMR. 😅
This is a great video with printing examples. Nice to see a video using the latest version of Cura and not an outdated one. Thank you! Also subscribed
Thanks glad you liked it. And thank you for your support.
very help full I got those bumps all over the place now I know os my print speed!
Guys remember this video is 2 years old. The speed of printers and quality is getting better. Just keep that in mind. Don't be afraid to push you're printer to find out what you can and cannot do.
My god, I just find you after a year of struggling with all kind of settings.
Really, you are the best. Examples, very good explanation's.
I hope you will post some more.
I would love to here you on PETG filaments settings. This medium is another beast.
I print perfect parts in PLA, but the same parts in PETG are the worst.
Again thank you for your videos on Cura.
I’m glad I could help you out even if it’s not when you really needed a year ago. When it comes to PETG I don’t use it much maybe I can get a few spools and see what I can do with it.
@@ItsMeaDMaDe
Thank you for your reply ! Do you have anything on ABS filaments ? I was told that it would be easier to get good prints than PETG. I have a Creality CR6 Max, and am not Shure of it's maximum temperature. Thank you again for these great videos !
just got into 3d printing myself, this helped me so much thank you.
No problem glad it helped.
@@ItsMeaDMaDe currently using all your setting discussed and wow what a difference 👏
I love the examples used! Thank you very much this helps a whole ton
Awesome! Glad it helped!
man, thank you so much for this. I just started 3d design and printing, and have been looking everywhere for information this helpful.
Wow that’s awesome! I’m so glad you found this useful. Thanks and good luck it’s a fun hobby to get into!
This is an awesome video my dude. Thank you for all the time and effort in printing those examples and really getting into the weeds with the settings. I really needed this exact video. Thanks.
When he said that we could count the lines, i counted about 20. Btw awesome video 😂
Thank you! I'd like to make as a suggestion for future video (unless I just haven't found it) please address optimizing tree supports in Cura. And one other point: If you are designing a piece, take time to minimize the NEED for supports. Thanks again.
Thank you. Everything I look up was done like 3 years ago. Most up to date stuff
very informative helps to have a good explanation like you are giving
Thanks. That’s the goal. 😄
(Raises hand) Not a sucker lol Great video These were all things i didnt know i would need to know about when i get my printer so i know ill be coming back to these videos when i get one finally but until then im looking forward to this series. Thanks as always
😂😂😂 I was waiting for a response like that. I’m sure these tips will come in handy. I started the series with speed and quality cause it’s basic but most important to get nice prints. As always thank you so much for your support!
You explained very well 👍
Thanks, amazing video. Just started with 3d printing and this really helped
Does the changes affect printing time? I’m sorry I’m new to everything. Still learning on the fly thanks for your content
Can you do an updated video with curas new features for 5.1?
can make a tutorial on how to print Dummy 13 perfectly? because im having trouble printing mine in the cura software with my ender 3 ve se.
That was quite helpful actually, but what are some good super high quality safe print specs for an out of the box neptune 3 plus doing elegoo pla?
Dont care about infil ratios to save filament, just nice solid prints that don't need sanding, other than slowing things down. I have no idea what I am doing so I will get into that stuff once i've had some practice and successes. I'm mostly just doing things like kitchen organization and cnc clamps and work tools, so the more solid the better.
I just purchased my first 3d printer! I got the ender 3 pro and I'm super exited to start absorbing as much knowledge as possible when it comes to 3d modeling and cad and the proper use of this slicing program cura! Your my hero! thank you so much for all of these amazing how to education videos about how to get high-resolution prints/high quality prints! For 99 bucks(after coupon) it was a great way to get my feet in the door and start learning. I came a cross your content AND LOVED IT!! now I'm hooked! thank you so much homie!!!!!!!!!!!cant wait to continue taking notes from you. any other recommendations of things I should watch before I mess things up? or am i guaranteed to mess up/should mess up to learn from my mistakes what do you think?
So first that’s so awesome. Welcome to the hobby! When it comes to recommend videos if you watch the Cura series you should be set.
Your going to fail… a lot! Which is great! Learn from each fail and before you know it you will be printing like a pro the best lessons only come with experience. I wish you luck! And thank you for all the comments. I love to hear feedback and know I’m helping people.
Your guaranteed to mess up a lot. I know I did. Lol 👍🏼
Hi again. I know it's a ton of work, but you're the best man for the job! Does that sound like a boss trying to convince you to work overtime? Sorry if it sounds like that. Anyway, do you think you could make a series just on all the settings in Cura, and how each one effects the print? I use Prusa slicer right now, but I like the plug in ability of Cura. This video is really a good one, especially how you showed detailed examples of the speed and layer height settings. If you could make an over all guide to Cura, I think it could become the de-facto Cura reference. Tons of people would view it because there's no definitive Cura reference video out there. You have a great way of teaching, so a series like this would be a remarkable. Again, great video, look forward to part two!
Well first of boss I can explain why I was 20 mins late to work today. 😂😂😂
I really want to thank you for the amazingly kind words. I honestly can’t tell you what it means to me.
To directly answer your statement. There is so much to Cura. I’ve thought about doing a more advanced series but it’s going to take a ton of time and testing. I never just want to say things without proof. Anyone can talk but can they back it up. That’s why I’m giving examples. I’m gunna cover a lot of the big stuff in the next two videos where a lot of people have issues. So if there are some things you want to know after these let me know. I’ll do my best as always to help.
Again, thank you so much for my support of my channel.
What speeds should I use for acceleration? I have printed some busts at 100 mm/s and 0.1 layer high, tough with the acceleration on like 10 000 mm/s, but it wobbles a bit since its moving so fast (cant notice ant defects with it tough). Should I lower it by 50% to 5000 mm/s or even lower?
12:14 exactlly! :) but still You have beatifull print. My print will heavy strugling with that
Thank you Chris
Your very welcome.
I have a quick question so if you change just the print speed and leave all the other speed settings will it slow the rest down based on the actual print speed? Or do you have to manually change all the speed settings to slow it down
You have to change all the initial layer settings and for the rest of the print mainly just the print speed.
thanks, this helped me ALOT!
9:05 yes, I use 24mm of speed. It is because plastic have melting point speed deppend , too fast printing will cause presure beetwen nozle and pushed plastic, and then it happens blobs.
would this be top layer thickness? I am using Orca slicer
my cure doesnt have the boxes for me to type certain numbers in like yours how do i fix?
Thank you for this! I use Simplify3D mainly but a lot of this applies. I’ve sat in front of my printer and re-printed the same thing close to 20X to test settings and results to get everything dialed in. One thing I still have issues with is overhangs could still be nicer so I will try dropping print speed in half when it gets to overhangs to see if it makes a difference. Great video!!
Your welcome. And thank you for the kind words. That’s why I was also trying to explain more theory of what it does cause it can apply to any slicer as well. I use to use simplify3D but switch to Cura. I enjoy the interface more. Both great tools.
Great Video👍👍👍
great video
Thanks!
good job.... nice..... you are the best
Thanks!
I have an error when using 5.4 to print. The outer wall layer only runs at 30 speed while I use it at 120 speed in cura. I have tried everything but can't fix it. With one small detail, the previous print only took 17 minutes. Now it has lasted 1 hour. What should I do to fix it? Thank you.
your flow to speed is not due to the nozzle, but the heating element. You can print faster, by printing Hotter. The downside is a higher need for part cooling fans, as the hot plastic coming out, will lose shape if it stays hot too long. The amount of material pushed out, does have limits, based on each hot end design - but honestly most people aren't hitting them until they are printing above 220C (for PLA) and still unable to get enough plastic out.
Part cooling is just as important as everything else. Especially if you want to print fast and have it look nice at the same time.
Thanks for the tip. I'll test it out.
Ok, so when you're adjusting layer thickness you can check what is the minimal turn of motors in your printer responsible for lifting the head up and down.
In my Creality S1 it's 0.04mm therefore you go for multiplication of this. 0.08, 0.12, 0.16 etc.
Good one 👍🏼 And printing vertical stuff with right angles, like a house model without sloping roof, a large layer height can really be helpful
Can you make a video on the creality slicer eventually?
Can you share cura profiles?
Does it affect the strength of the print? If I want something more durable would I be better off with a finer layer height?
What is the best solution that can be used to polish the print surface after printing?
I will use sand paper. To smooth then paint over it. If you don’t at least prime it you’ll see all the scratches if you want the filament color
Have you tried a .06 mm nozzle?
No honestly I haven’t I’m gunna have to get some and test them out.
hello I know its 1 year ago video but just asking how can I change the distance from direct drive too the nozzle, I have installed new Direct Drive for my CR10s pro v2 and using Cura slicer btw. lose the video about changing the distance
Amazing vídeo
Thanks so much!
What Top/Bottom Thickness do you have set?
Im trying to copy your full setup, So i can hopefully get a successful print... So far, Ive had my Anet A8 for a little over a day, And not had 1 successful print :(
liked and subscribed 1000000%
Thanks so much I really appreciate it!
If we change Wall line count from 2 to 3, our print will be stronger, right? But does it make the quality of the print worse?
Yes it would be stronger. I personally would say no from experience it will not make your print look worse. But I always suggest doing test prints to see what works with your printer.
so your initial layer height is .2 and then you will make the other layers .08?
hi guy! can you give me full setting? thanks so much!!!
I tried adjusting my print speed and no mater what, the printer keeps printing like as if I never changed the speed. For example, cura default printing speed is at 50 mm and it says that print time is 10 minutes. I change it to 30 mm andits still the same. Things gets more crazy wheni tried setting print speed at 100 mm or 200 mm and the time is still 10 minutes. This is a first for it to hapen to me. My first printer is a Tronxy x5sa and it's crappy. But I'm at least able to print an articulated slug at a 30 mm print speed. My new printer, ender 3 s1 pro, is just butiful and works like a charm, but I can't get the speed right. I do belive that it's the slicer though. I could manually slow down the speed directly on the printer as it's printing, but that defeats the pourpous of setting the speed in cura. Plus i can't realy tell at what percentage matches with 30 mm a second and I can't tell how long the print will take as cura left me with 10 minutes and the printer screen doesn't tell you how long it will take or how much time is left for it to finish. Please help, I realy need to know as speed is everything and I need to eventually print small detailed parts that require slower print speeds.
Hello Thanks for sharing good stuff, I wanted to know about variable speed. Mean to say that is possible to give command "User defined speed" Like 1 to 100 slices at 30 MM, Next 200 slices at 40 MM and next 100 slices at 50MM ? I have total 400 slices in a particular print.
Vaguely speaking yes. I can’t explain it in a comment but I will try to make a video discussing it in the future.
@@ItsMeaDMaDe that will be something more great 👍
Love your video with good details and to the point. I noticed that your infill speed is set to 25 and speed to 60. I'm just wondering since it's inside the project and it's not really visible would it be better to set it to a higher speed to reduce time or will it affect the project ?
Like Speed 20 and Infill 60, would it still be as nice ? Thanks
Yeah that would work. The infill speed doesn’t affect much. I didn’t go into much about the different between the too. But you are correct.
A speed of 20.... would be less than a speed of 25 though😅
I hope these settings will help me and I really do know more that what I did before
This is gunna sound like a bot ngl
If i update CURA would i keep my settings?
I honestly don’t remember if it saved from Cura 4 to 5. But you can export your profile settings and import them into the updated version. If your just updating to a new update of the same version I do believe it saves it.
do you have a Cura profile you can share? would love a link to try
What speed can you achieve with a 0.08mm height on bigger printers such as the flsun v400 or bamboo labs and still get smooth prints?
Thanks
Honestly I can’t tell you. It’s something you would have to test. I haven’t done speed test on bigger printers
@@ItsMeaDMaDe I've literally just watched about 3 hrs of your videos and learned so much. When you dial in your settings for example the z height distance for floor and roof supports will that be it for every model I print or will it change depending on what I print?. Hope I have made sense here.
Thanks
@@dannyspencer933 yeah, I have quite a few videos. I’m glad to hear you were able to take some info out of them. So when it comes to dialing in your settings, you will have to tweak it if you change your layer height. that is when I have found. I don’t get my good support settings that I dialed in so I have had to create support settings for the different layer Heights that I use. So if you always use a .1 mm layer height and that is where you’ve dialed in your settings, you should never need to change it again. at least I have not changed my settings since I’ve got it really good and dialed in and it prints good every single time and the supports come off easily. I hope that’s helped.
@@ItsMeaDMaDe I'll be changing for 0.2 to 0.08 say I understand now and would need to create profiles for each change. Thank you so much.
When it comes to speed, what you're showing mainly comes to the wall / top layer speed no? I know that those are usually 1/2 of the inputed speed but if they're being overriden (like it seems to be in your SPEED SETTINGS section) then the speed shouldn't do much right?
bah... I just went down a rabbit hole trying to find the STL for the pegboard paint holders visible in your background and I can find similar... but not THESE :O( If you could drop a link I would totally appreciate it
I deleted Cura and reinstalled it, but all my models are very small in size!! What can I do to return the size of my models in Cura to their original size? Thanks
You can use the scale tool on the left side of the screen and scale the model up that way. Also make sure your printer settings are correct. I’ve made the mistake of having a bigger bed than I have get messed up in settings and my models looks small but it turned out it was my bed size.
Without attempts to increase the Flow setting, it's not conclusive to say a .4 nozzle can't output a better .3mm layer height... Yes, eventually something like a volcano nozzle will be required to heat up the filament, but .3mm and good layer adhesion should be achievable.
Just finished a cube, 0.3mm layer hight with 0.4mm nozzle. No issue with layers, could probably push it a tad higher. But, im not sure. Have direct drive, and motor is larger than few other printers i looked at. Only issue i have with the cube model is the corners. Corners kinda bulge, like it goes to far then split second after corner it reposition it self according to dimension. so atm. Currently trying to figure out what is causing this. Suspecting my print speed has been a bit aggressive. But im not sure if this can take all the blame. So many factors that can produve results im getting. But hey, luckily i was aware 3d printing is not yet plug and play or forget. More a hobby, where there is so much to learn to get the most out of your printer.
GOD!!!My broo
My Ender v3 se prints at 180mm/s and im okay with that lol
speed and quality , at the same time, on a fdm machine, um, not possible
Agreed. I’m not talking about getting both. It’s about the settings for each.
Why is it that when I print anything lower than 0.2mm I lose print quality?
Cool. I'm having an issue dialing in a new printer. It is a geeetech a30t three colours single nozzle. It's not a bad machine, a bit under developed. Their software is mediocre.
I’ve seen those printers but haven’t heard anything about them. Hope you get it dialed in good.
@@ItsMeaDMaDe It's been out for a while, I was surprised how few there are. I can see why. It's not bad for the money, but the extruder drives are poor and the software is lame. I am changing them over to gear drive in a more creality style extruder drive. Even if the 3 colour doesn't work, it's still 330 x 330 x 420. Keep at it. you are informative.
@@Matt2chee well I wish you luck with it. That’s why I go with creality on my fdm printers. Parts are readily available and there are tons of mod kits for them. Thanks a lot for the kind words. I love learning everything I can and just want to spread the knowledge to help people. I’ve been doing 3D printing for almost 8 years now and the space has changed so much. Just want to give people the help I didn’t have (or wasn’t around) when I first started.

is it possible to go with 0,08 on layer height with a 0,4 nozzle?
I think my Anycubic Kobra 2 Pro with 0.4 nozzle says it can go down to 0.05 on layer height, I have just tried 0.1 and it works great.
Urghhh 20 mm/s , jk I havent tried anything that slow, but I should to get a better quality. Great stuff.
😂 I know! It’s terribly long print times but I haven’t found anything that gets as good results. My longest print was 9 days! But it was so amazing. All I can wish for you is great prints and lots of patience. Lol.
I'm printing at 70mm on a stock Aquila and having no issue...
5.1 now
i use 250mm/s 😅😅😅
me on a 100.0 mm/s print speed without even noticing
damn 404 like count...nice
Lol. That’s funny.
