messed up my slicer profile last night

Cranked the print speed to save time on a bracket and got warping garbage. Anyone else learn this the hard way this week?

yeah, cranked mine too fast during filament week and got the same warping. speed's a trap, learned slow.

Andrew, Brian, this is basically a rite of passage. Speed feels like the free lunch but it isn't, especially on brackets with any flat surface area, that first layer needs the extra time to actually grab the bed.

Drop your speed back down 15-20% and bump cooling if your printer allows it. Still on the shelf next to my melted-candle boat as proof this happens to everyone.
