Speed Test Tower by wscarlton

This is meant to test the speed capabilities of your printer. I have sliced each model in Cura and tweaked at the various heights to increase the printer's speed as it moves up the tower.
If you have a 200mm x 200mm bed (Maker Select, Wanhao i3, etc.), you can download the GCODE directly. If your bed is not large enough, please do not download - the homing will not work! But it you do have the same/ similar printer, then it is probably easier to just download the GCODE.
Instructions on setting up your own Speed Test for Slicing:
Download this model.
Import into Cura and adjust Tweak at Z as follows:
a) Start print speed at 20 mm/s.
b) Alter print speed only at 12.5 mm.
c) Add another "Tweak at Z" and alter print speed every 12.5mm.
Slice and print!
Supplied GCODE is for 1.75 mm PLA at 195C, 50C bed, 0.4 mm nozzel, 0.2 mm layer height.
