gap_infill_speed

Gap infill speed

  • Type: list of numbers, one per extruder
  • Unit: mm/s
  • Default: [30]
  • Recommended range: 5 to 1000

  • Nullable: A profile can store nil to take the value from another profile; the key is then left out.
  • Used only when: Wall loops (wall_loops) is above 0
  • Changing it redoes: G-code only
  • Easy mode: Scaled by the Speed control (speed presets silent 0.5x, standard 1x, sport 1.24x, ludicrous 1.66x); never below its own value because of a flow or acceleration cap.
  • PrintPilot class: edit (may change in a plate override)
