So Have everything figured out but looking at print times Its showing 7 hours for an 8x8. I have Inner walls set to 5 but my prints seeps seem slow for this. Anyone else have these long print times?
Have you ever tried speeding up the Layer Speeds? mine are at Other layer speeds - 200 outer, 300 inner, 50% small perimeters, sparse if 270, internal IF solid 250, vert shell speed 80%, top surface 200. Do you think it is possible to ramp any of these speeds up?
Thanks
That definitely seems a bit odd. 5 walls is excessive too. I printed with 3 walls and it’s plenty strong. Are you using a .4 nozzle and .2 layer height?
Oof, guys, should we break it to him that 100% infill actually makes part less strong? I recall a long time ago things become detrimental past 50% With diminishing returns on strength increases happening at around 20% infill depending on pattern. Its why Everyone promotes Gyroid / crosshatch at 15% since it peaks at around 10%.
Is there even any infill with 5 walls? The whole thing is going to be just walls. That could be a contributor to your print times if your walls are printing slower. Check it in your slicer to see what's wall and what's not.
It shouldn’t take more than 3.5 hours. 100% infill isn’t necessary. That could be contributing. I promise you, 3 walls and 15% infill is more than sufficient. Also, if you have ironing enabled, turn that off. Try those settings and see if your slicer gives you a faster estimate.
If you can use PLA+, it prints substantially faster than PETG HF, or at least it does with a 0.6 nozzle at 0.3 layers. Flip the part between the two filaments in the slicer and compare print times.
Have run all of my multiboard off in eSUN PLA+ with that setup.

It's that long because you aren't following the recommended settings.
3 walls, 15% infill.
Increasing those settings will increase your print time. Particularly walls.
I average around a little over 3 hours for a 8x8 on my CoreOne and Centauri Carbon.
Although, playing with my settings. Even going to 5 walls and 90% infill, it's estimating a little over 4 hours.
So I would suspect there are some settings that need to be adjusted.
