Print Speed Calculator
Find how fast you can print based on your nozzle, layer settings, and how much plastic your hotend and filament can actually push per second.

Flow Limits
Don't know your filament's max flow? Estimate it from MFI
A rough estimate only — real extrusion behaves differently from the slow MFI test. Use it as a starting point, then tune by testing.
Flow Result
Hotend is the bottleneck
Effective max flow12.0 mm³/s
Base max speed133 mm/s
Suggested Speeds
All values are in mm/s, calculated from the layer height (0.2 mm) and line width (0.45 mm) set above, plus your flow limits below — change either and every speed here updates.

These speeds are a starting point derived from your flow limits — always validate with a real test print, since cooling, retraction, and acceleration also affect quality.
