Thank you so much. For folks like me who have been printing awhile, but don't consider themselves experts, it's perhaps the absolute BEST 5 minute 3D Printing video I've watched!!! That's only one of several reasons why I've joined a number of others as a Patreon! I was just recently trying to compare one of your profiles and ended up exporting both to a spreadsheet and looking at them there. That is a lot of work and it's still somewhat difficult to make comparisons. Also thanks for the Settings Guide separate window tip as I had mist that useful feature.
Great content as always! I did want to say that I made some slight tweaks to your fast profile, not for speed, but to slightly improve quality and reduce under extrusion. I bumped the temp up to 209 for if I’m doing a finer print with small work, and up to 220 if I’m doing something big and low detail that’s gonna be laying plastic in long sweeping motions. Definitely try it out and see if your prints don’t come out more shiny and with better layer adhesion.
Solid channel! I seriously respect the hustle and tidbits you let out. Your channel and website are comparable to a 'free' video game. Stay slangin that plastic!
I've been using your super fast profile for a couple of weeks now on my CR10S Pro with a Creality Spider hotend and HeroMe cooling system. I was able to bump my printing speed up to 150mm/s with decent results. Thanks for explaining exactly how this profile works and the great video.
Wow, did this save time!!! I wanted to start printing the RepRack filament shelves, and each bracket was going to take 17+ hours on a standard profile, and I need 6 of them...So, I was looking at a week to finish printing just the brackets...Using this profile, it was a little over 4 hours each....13 hour savings on each bracket!!! Instead of a week or more of printing, I was done in 2 days!! Amazing!! Thanks Chuck, and keep up the great work!!!
Great video today and very timely for me, I was struggling to try to match 3 printers for your fast print settings, the analyzer is a great extension, Thanks!
Great stuff!! Holy smokes. Any chance you could do a whole episode on your cura profiles that were visible in this. Plz include differences and the same method to save them as this one came from. That would be a great teaching aid. Thx for great content Chuck.
I watched your video on the fast print settings, downloaded it, and tried it raw. Worked very well on my ender 3. I changed a couple of setting to suit me and it is still working great. No offense but I see the settings you provided as a guide, not gospel. Experimenting is the key to happiness in the shop. LOL, thank you for all the info you put out.
Just saved another 7 hours at least on my Quick connect terminal block (2 pieces) thanks again! Used the Extra fast 0.28mm setting but it looks fine and the 14x1mm thread works OK. Even the #6 screw threads worked (set slicing tolerance to Exclusive) so my steel screws went in easily. I had to reprint one part which took 2 1/2 hrs but that's another 2 hours I saved - twice!
Just tested this on an Articulated Shark print. With Cura's standard 0.2mm layer height profile it takes 9 hours 16 minutes. Your profile takes 4 hours 1 minute (lowered infill to 10%) There was a little under extruding happening on a couple of the layers. But that might be something I can tweak with my machine first. But otherwise it doesn't look too bad. Perfectly functional. Ordered a BL Touch and dual gear extruder the other day so maybe I'll try again when I have those installed.
My poor Ender 3 is down... My SKR Mini E3 finally let out the magic blue smoke (figuratively speaking). It stinks having it down but it gave me an opportunity to clean everything and install a couple of upgrades I had been siting on. The new board should be here today thankfully. Nice video as always Chuck, keep it up!
@@benjenkins183 No, it's an original Ender 3. Nothing specifically caused the failure, it was just time + heat = eventual failure. The board's LED was on and the fuse was fine. The lights were on but no one was home (SoC was likely at fault). My printer was acting a bit odd in the weeks leading up to this so you may have an indicator before hand (e-step and z-offset erased from EPROM; which also could have been at fault) . What I would recommend and what I did this time around is get yourself an assortment of small heatsinks (the ones for a Raspberry Pi's will do). Place one on the SoC and a few others on the mosfets for the hotend and the bed. Align the fins with your Y-Axis, this goes for your stepper drivers as well. It's a small preventative which I think will help in the end. Happy printing!
@@Founders4 Sorry, I meant SKR Mini "E3 v2". Mine is an original Ender 3 as well, but I picked up a few SKR Mini E3 V2's. I have heat sinks on the stepper drivers (came with the board) but don't have any on the others. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!
I had tested it on my Ender but you gave me the motivation to get my Sidewinder X1 running with this profile. Just screen printed your Ender 3 one and tweaked the S/W profile. It more than halved the print time. A real big thanks to you for doing this work. Cheers from NZ.
I've been noticing all this info out there for the Ender 3. But hardly nothing for the CR 6 SE, which is what I have. I had the Ender 3 and switched to the CR6. I like it much better.
Another great Cura plugin I found is Startup Optimiser. Only loads the printers you use and the the mat6erials you use and startup times is now a few seconds as apposed to FOREVER! 😂🤣
yeah that was fun. Although I have to say the quality comparison afterwards is a bit lacking. "They are about the same". To me those don't look "about the same".
@@MrTree421 yea he technically lost.. sorry chuck.. but only bc the top layers aren't as close together as the other and if you can see the sides of chucks print are a few layer lines.. progress is progress though and with chucks tenacity i hope he can push other 3d printing technicians to push the boundaries on the speed
Great help, thank you. Spend the last hour looking though all of them. The one setting I could not find (maybe not understanding what it does) is when I print an open box style print, the walls tend to separate or detach, creating a kind of bubble along the outer wall. In most cases the wall are thin enough that no "infill" is used. What setting am I missing?
Hi Chep I’m an noob in 3D printing but an old man in age lol. Thanks for your awesome vids they are really helping me learn more. I got your fast profile downloaded and installed and wow it did make a massive difference in time. But for me it also lost quality big time. Such as the layers of filament don’t seem to fuse together too well. Any way to rectify that. I have some pics of it if you want to see them. Cheers and thank you.
Hello, 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.
I love this hobby, but after a lifetime in manufacturing I want to build the best model or design part I can without thinking how fast I can print it. I learn from your settings for the best build quality I can get. The machines we have are not designed for production and should not be dependent on how many minutes we can save for each print, it irrelevant. it’s not as if we are loosing money with the machine sitting idle. The only consideration we need to learn is the best settings for the best print with minimal sanding.
This is not about "production time" or "the best print", but about education and learning about your machine and how to evolve it. The first printers were excruciatingly slow and quality was still bad. But we've learned how to get better in both categories. There will always be a sacrifice for quality vs speed when you are on the cutting edge, but we continue to learn from it.
The Profile Analyser has a lot of potential, but the comparison feature is a bit buggy on my system. On my cura install (4.12.0), any comparison fields with a dash in them will stay a dash unless I make a change to the profile in cura and update it. Fortunately, all the data is shown in the View Active Configuration tab, so at least the data is accessible. The comparison view just doesn't pick it all up for some reason. If I go into cura, change the value to something else, update the profile, change the value back to it's original value then update the profile again, the comparison view will then display the value instead of a dash.
I'm having the same issue. I thought this would be a fantastic tool for comparison, but I am also showing a ton of parameters not showing up on the comparison. Shame. Hopefully they continue to work on this to resolve it.
I hope you will see this and possibly be able to offer some ideas...I have upgraded and modified my Ender 3 V2 with an extender kit, CR Touch and a .8mm nozzle to speed up my print times and still produce quality prototypes. However, after I upgraded to the .8mm nozzle, now all my models that use to slice in Cura for my printer don't anymore? Thoughts?
I would assume you’ve changed something in Cura to reflect the bigger nozzle and that’s now thrown out a wall setting or something that means the old models don’t slice. Do you get an error ? I was looking at print thin walls and wall line thickness maybe it can’t make those settings work with the bigger nozzle.
You are the pope of 3D printing!!!! Do you have any videos about how to upgrade the firmware of Ender 3 v2 and if it's a good idea or not? Thanks, Chep
@@FilamentFriday I run my 2 Ender 3 and 2 Ender 5 Plus on their FW and its very good, although I am trying Klipper out at the moment and if I can get along with it I will implement it on all 4 of these machines
CHEP I am an Ender 3 pro with glass bed novice. It has Marlin 2.0.8 software. I have not opened case to find board version. Had printer 3 days just I did CHEP levelling gcode it prints OK. Can I buy support? I hope to print something soon. Best wishes from British viewer. I look forward to your reply.
Used the extra fast profile on my Ender 3. First test came out horrible looking and brittle. Broke apart coming off the build plate. I resliced it, changing the infill to 100 percent, nozzle temp to 205, build plate temp to 60, and slowed down the speed by 25 percent. Next print came out practically perfect and still much faster than normal
Keep speed and go up to 210 or 215 and you should be even faster but still sturdy. The printer will struggle more to keep a true 205 when you try to push so much plastic through it, so raising the temp will allow it to flow better even if it losese a few degrees on the longer straight runs.
Hmm - looks like I will have to re-bake my firmware. I am using Linear Advance, so have Classic Jerk etc turned off. It seems like the old way might be the better way still.
Had some problems with petg with the profile. Then i realized that I should Set the bed to 70 degrees and the nozzle to atleast 220 degrees. The first layer should also be printed slower. Other than that, it seemed to work good enough with the super fast profile
how do you keep settings from a successful profile and move them over to another? I have dialed in a Super Quality and want to make sure they can carry over to lower quality profiles. Thanks in advance.
Hi CHEP thanks for sharing goodies, I am new bee in 3D. I have specific query. Are there any settings in Cura or plugins where i want to print different layers at different speeds. Say I have total 400 layers, first 100 layers wants to print at 30MM speed, Next 200 layers at 40MM speed and last 100 layers at 60MM speed. Here first I am asking in terms of variable speed. I do have same question in terms of variable layer height too, but that we can keep for next !!. Thanks in advance
@@FilamentFriday Thanks for your quick support, variable layers I got it. But for speed I am not yet clear. I 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 ?
Thanks to your last video, I just made the switch from Cura 15.0.4 which was the supported version for my Printrbot Simple Metal. These plugins will be really helpful to me as I come up to speed on all the new features. Any other good plugins or resources that would be helpful?
calculate your flow rate for he new profile, cheps pic looks like its over extruding slightly and stephans looks slightly under extruded due to gaps in the top layer
Being totally new to 3D printing ......I just received my second printer.....the Ender3 V3 SE model.....and I still have the first Ender 3 model but haven't even used it due to upgrades that never happened.....so I think I'll give it a go and start with the V3 model.........just wondering what a profile in 3D printing is for........does it mean settings that differ from the normal slicer settings?
I'm still trying to figure out how to import this profile for a CR-10s. Cura throws a machine type error when I open the 3mf Edit: If you're running startup optimizer and a printer other than the Ender 3 Pro you'll need to turn off optimizer and restart in order to add the profile.
So I went ahead and used your Super Fast Profile and I love it! But I'm still having one issue with MY CR10S PRO V2... Even though I use cura and I tell it I have a heated bed and input the correct bed temp the bed never heats up... I have to manually tell the printer to heat the bed or I will end up with failed prints.
@@FilamentFriday I wasn't trying to make seem like your profile was causing that, I just figured your profile would fix that issue I was having. How can I ensure my profile always heats up the bed? Because if i put it on the start G-code wouldn't that make the temp of all prints set to a specific temp and not be adjusted for different filaments? Honestly, I'm just looking for guidance
@@FilamentFriday so there wasn't any G-Code command for heating the bed. I manually inserted M140 S60 BEFORE M109 S200 and it worked. Now how would I go about making this process AUTOMATIC when I change parameters for different filaments?
@@glennvillegas9941 Like he said, you need to check your start g-code settings (in Cura). In the printer settings -> machine settings (where you can modify a printer's Start G-code and End G-code), do you have the box checked that says "Heated Bed"? If you have that set, and then if you specify the heated bed temperature in your Cura profile, then the g-code file created when you slice and save should contain the appropriate g-code to set your bed temp.
@@xxmoney91xx I got it now... I was originally looking for it on his profiles page on CHEP's website.I was so eager to find it lol! I really appreciate great RUclips channels like this. People think I'm really proficient at 3d printing. Me: not really, I just watch videos!
Love your vids and learned a lot, but I was wondering why the newer ender 3 printers wont read sub folders. I have tons of files as I do this as a business and subfolders work fine on my ender 3 pros, but sub folders don't work on the ender 3 pro v2+. Kinda off topic, but I figured if there was a work around, you would know. Thanks again for the vids!
Tried it with lightning infill and the prints are too brittle. When i switched back with the same sliced model, switched back and the model prints fine.
CHEP, I used the plugin in an attempt to mimic the Extra Fast Cura Profile with a 0.8mm Nozzle but wasn't getting the results I would expect from a nozzle twice the size. Do you have an Extra Fast Cura Profile for an 0.8mm nozzle?
Is it possible to analyze your extra fast vs the standard profile that comes with cura. I downloaded the Profile Analyzer but is done pull up the cure default ones. Thanks.
Thanks for the info, i'm relatively new to 3D printing (bought an Ender 5 plus) and been messing around with settings etc and managed to shave a third off my print times without compromising quality. I have just tried your profile, but something must be off somewhere as the print quality is SHOCKINGLY BAD, so bad that the prints were practically scrap, is there something else i need to do other than what you've said in your video? thanks again.
Great tips! I have to take minor issue with the rush and desire to "have the fastest print". I tend to generate a print with as close to zero-post-processing as possible, and as close to having my 3D print article look as if it were an injection molded piece. That is my goal. So, I am of the opinion that your print ( yours and Stefans ) look fine is about as high a compliment as I can go ..... sorry, chief.
You are correct, printing fast is not about quality as much as it is about learning. The quality comes later and you build off that. This is how we advance this tech.
@@benjenkins183 to be clear, “throughput, throughput, throughput” does not necessarily equate or lead to “technological improvement”. I also tend to run my system(s) slower to sustain longevity. I think for focus should be placed on tool path optimization.
Hi Chep, will you release your profile for cura 4.13 ? I tried to upload your profile for my mini but it says " Quality type 'standard' is not compatible with the current active machine definition 'fdmprinter'." if anyone in the comments can help too... thanks !
Saw the title of the video and was anticipating the Settings detail plugin, heh. I'm not a huge fan of the "just make it a plugin" culture (just look at any of Atlassian's products), particularly for the Settings plugin as it was written by one of the main Cura devs. That could easily have been added as a utility that could be toggled on and off within Cura, but at least this isn't being used as a microtransaction extortion mechanism the way Atlassian does it.

Just tested this on an Articulated Shark print. With Cura's standard 0.2mm layer height profile it takes 9 hours 16 minutes.
Your profile takes 4 hours 1 minute (lowered infill to 10%)
There was a little under extruding happening on a couple of the layers. But that might be something I can tweak with my machine first. But otherwise it doesn't look too bad. Perfectly functional.

@@FilamentFriday I run my 2 Ender 3 and 2 Ender 5 Plus on their FW and its very good, although I am trying Klipper out at the moment and if I can get along with it I will implement it on all 4 of these machines
great video
CHEP I am an Ender 3 pro with glass bed novice. It has Marlin 2.0.8 software. I have not opened case to find board version. Had printer 3 days just I did CHEP levelling gcode it prints OK. Can I buy support? I hope to print something soon. Best wishes from British viewer. I look forward to your reply.
I don't offer 1 on 1 support. But I do a but more to help patreon supporters.
Yo, CHEP, you are the best!!! When are you going to start live streaming on Twitch?
No plans. I’m terrible live. I need my edits.
I used to use one and may use other. My problem is nozzle size is a constant with dual+ extrusion.
Great video as always. I still use Cura 4.8, and it seems the new fast profile is not recognised by this version, is there a workaround?
Is there a particular reason you can't upgrade to Cura 4.13.1?
Used the extra fast profile on my Ender 3. First test came out horrible looking and brittle. Broke apart coming off the build plate. I resliced it, changing the infill to 100 percent, nozzle temp to 205, build plate temp to 60, and slowed down the speed by 25 percent. Next print came out practically perfect and still much faster than normal
Keep speed and go up to 210 or 215 and you should be even faster but still sturdy. The printer will struggle more to keep a true 205 when you try to push so much plastic through it, so raising the temp will allow it to flow better even if it losese a few degrees on the longer straight runs.
What part did you slow down? My whole print slid on my lk5pro.
@@tootasmoviecorner I slowed down the speed using the dial on the actual printer to 75 percent
Hmm - looks like I will have to re-bake my firmware. I am using Linear Advance, so have Classic Jerk etc turned off. It seems like the old way might be the better way still.
Had some problems with petg with the profile. Then i realized that I should Set the bed to 70 degrees and the nozzle to atleast 220 degrees. The first layer should also be printed slower. Other than that, it seemed to work good enough with the super fast profile
how do you keep settings from a successful profile and move them over to another? I have dialed in a Super Quality and want to make sure they can carry over to lower quality profiles. Thanks in advance.
I used the fast profile from the s3 and my print slid drastically. Wondering how I can fix that
Hi CHEP thanks for sharing goodies, I am new bee in 3D. I have specific query. Are there any settings in Cura or plugins where i want to print different layers at different speeds. Say I have total 400 layers, first 100 layers wants to print at 30MM speed, Next 200 layers at 40MM speed and last 100 layers at 60MM speed. Here first I am asking in terms of variable speed. I do have same question in terms of variable layer height too, but that we can keep for next !!. Thanks in advance
Variable speed: ruclips.net/video/su_m5zV9rvA/видео.html
Variable layer: ruclips.net/video/9otlFHhmZkY/видео.html
@@FilamentFriday Thanks for your quick support, variable layers I got it. But for speed I am not yet clear. I 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 ?
Thanks to your last video, I just made the switch from Cura 15.0.4 which was the supported version for my Printrbot Simple Metal. These plugins will be really helpful to me as I come up to speed on all the new features. Any other good plugins or resources that would be helpful?
A playlist full of them. ruclips.net/p/PLRFPlUhDTTlm0AqW9EGhxglCt_OKvAwxI
Thanks. How can I improve top layer quality? Profile is really fast, however I need some tips for that top. Any advice?
calculate your flow rate for he new profile, cheps pic looks like its over extruding slightly and stephans looks slightly under extruded due to gaps in the top layer
Smoother top layer: ruclips.net/video/jkAqTWmVRVA/видео.html
Being totally new to 3D printing ......I just received my second printer.....the Ender3 V3 SE model.....and I still have the first Ender 3 model but haven't even used it due to upgrades that never happened.....so I think I'll give it a go and start with the V3 model.........just wondering what a profile in 3D printing is for........does it mean settings that differ from the normal slicer settings?
I just use standard Ender 3 machine profile with my Cura profiles.
I'm still trying to figure out how to import this profile for a CR-10s. Cura throws a machine type error when I open the 3mf
Edit: If you're running startup optimizer and a printer other than the Ender 3 Pro you'll need to turn off optimizer and restart in order to add the profile.
i know he sees the comments. not sure why he wont respond to it. i have the same problem also
Just use an Ender 3 profile to load it.
@@FilamentFriday i print on an ender 3 with the profile and it didnt work untill i turned off the start up optimizer like stated above. thanks
Hello, tell me how to apply this profile for a 0.8mm nozzle
hey CHEP can you test an extra fast profile for a 0.8 nozzle?
So I went ahead and used your Super Fast Profile and I love it! But I'm still having one issue with MY CR10S PRO V2... Even though I use cura and I tell it I have a heated bed and input the correct bed temp the bed never heats up... I have to manually tell the printer to heat the bed or I will end up with failed prints.
That has nothing to do with my profile. Check your machine profile start up code.
@@FilamentFriday I wasn't trying to make seem like your profile was causing that, I just figured your profile would fix that issue I was having. How can I ensure my profile always heats up the bed? Because if i put it on the start G-code wouldn't that make the temp of all prints set to a specific temp and not be adjusted for different filaments? Honestly, I'm just looking for guidance
Check your start up code for bed heating.
@@FilamentFriday so there wasn't any G-Code command for heating the bed. I manually inserted M140 S60 BEFORE M109 S200 and it worked. Now how would I go about making this process AUTOMATIC when I change parameters for different filaments?
@@glennvillegas9941 Like he said, you need to check your start g-code settings (in Cura). In the printer settings -> machine settings (where you can modify a printer's Start G-code and End G-code), do you have the box checked that says "Heated Bed"? If you have that set, and then if you specify the heated bed temperature in your Cura profile, then the g-code file created when you slice and save should contain the appropriate g-code to set your bed temp.
Are you sold out of the Electronic Bed Level tool (kit version) on amazon???
I just used your profile and printed that part in 25 minutes. Just cranked the speed knob up to 300%. Now if only the print didn’t didn’t crumble…
Try combing lightning infill or infill support sometimes helps depending on the shape of your part
Up the temperature to match your filament.
is there a link to download the fast profile? I must be missing something..
In description. It’s .3MF project file
@@FilamentFriday thanks so much... I can't wait to try this!
@@bill6255 as chep said in the previous video, when you open the 3mf add it as a seperate printer. Otherwise it'll overwrite your start gcode
@@xxmoney91xx I got it now... I was originally looking for it on his profiles page on CHEP's website.I was so eager to find it lol! I really appreciate great RUclips channels like this. People think I'm really proficient at 3d printing. Me: not really, I just watch videos!
I've been working on a CAD model. It takes under normal profile (.28) 3h45min, with this an 1h25min. This helps the workflow so much!!
Love your vids and learned a lot, but I was wondering why the newer ender 3 printers wont read sub folders. I have tons of files as I do this as a business and subfolders work fine on my ender 3 pros, but sub folders don't work on the ender 3 pro v2+. Kinda off topic, but I figured if there was a work around, you would know. Thanks again for the vids!
Update the firmware to Jyers that I used here.
@@FilamentFriday Awesome, thanks a lot! I knew you would have the answer! You rock!
Are there any speed adds for this profile with Cura 5?
When printing a lithophane cube my corners want to pull up from the bed unless I use a raft. how can I fix this so I don't have to use a raft?
Try this: ruclips.net/video/D45eIhoWSyg/видео.html
is there a printout of these settings?
Tried it with lightning infill and the prints are too brittle. When i switched back with the same sliced model, switched back and the model prints fine.
CHEP, I used the plugin in an attempt to mimic the Extra Fast Cura Profile with a 0.8mm Nozzle but wasn't getting the results I would expect from a nozzle twice the size. Do you have an Extra Fast Cura Profile for an 0.8mm nozzle?
Is it possible to analyze your extra fast vs the standard profile that comes with cura. I downloaded the Profile Analyzer but is done pull up the cure default ones. Thanks.
Thanks for the info, i'm relatively new to 3D printing (bought an Ender 5 plus) and been messing around with settings etc and managed to shave a third off my print times without compromising quality. I have just tried your profile, but something must be off somewhere as the print quality is SHOCKINGLY BAD, so bad that the prints were practically scrap, is there something else i need to do other than what you've said in your video? thanks again.
Great tips!
I have to take minor issue with the rush and desire to "have the fastest print". I tend to generate a print with as close to zero-post-processing as possible, and as close to having my 3D print article look as if it were an injection molded piece. That is my goal.
So, I am of the opinion that your print ( yours and Stefans ) look fine is about as high a compliment as I can go ..... sorry, chief.
You are correct, printing fast is not about quality as much as it is about learning. The quality comes later and you build off that. This is how we advance this tech.
@@benjenkins183 to be clear, “throughput, throughput, throughput” does not necessarily equate or lead to “technological improvement”. I also tend to run my system(s) slower to sustain longevity. I think for focus should be placed on tool path optimization.
Hi Chep, will you release your profile for cura 4.13 ? I tried to upload your profile for my mini but it says " Quality type 'standard' is not compatible with the current active machine definition 'fdmprinter'." if anyone in the comments can help too... thanks !
Does it find the error in spelling analyze? LOL Nice video sir as always!
Both are accepted spelling. UK typically uses S not Z.
@@FilamentFriday I know... it was a joke sir. Great video.
I can't find the plug-in in the market place , do u have the directions download link ?
Saw the title of the video and was anticipating the Settings detail plugin, heh. I'm not a huge fan of the "just make it a plugin" culture (just look at any of Atlassian's products), particularly for the Settings plugin as it was written by one of the main Cura devs. That could easily have been added as a utility that could be toggled on and off within Cura, but at least this isn't being used as a microtransaction extortion mechanism the way Atlassian does it.
do you have a fast profile that can be d/l and put into cura or is it still not ready for noob's like myself.
The fast profile is linked in the last video about it.
The link to it is in this video's description.
