Well... you can, right now, limit the maximum rate that you can extrude filament at and that would cause extrusion moves to go slower once the move tries to extrude faster than the limit... M203 E1500.00 ; my setting so lower the E value by half or a 2/3rd?
@Billtopia Thank you for your reply. That might be a good solution. Using that limit the filament is purely extruder capability dependend. Not drive system dependend. I once saw this option but ignored it because of interaction with the retraction speed. But I switched to hardware retraction using G10 / G11. I will test as soon as I can if the setting affects/limits the hardware rectract speeds or not.
Having a separate maximum federate for G0 moves would be useful, not just for extrusion machines but for CNC machines as well.
In CNC mode, G0 moves already occur at the maximum speed configured by M203.
Indeed, however the OP wants to have a lower max speed, filament dependent for G1 moves. Hence splitting them.
I will test as soon as I can if the setting affects/limits the hardware rectract speeds or not.
Sorry for the late reply. I could not continue printing the last years. About the test:
Under filaments I did set a hardware retract configuration. M207 S1.3 F1800 Z0.2 ; Settings for hardware retract Then I did set M203 to more or less than "1800", the retract feedrate.
Test 1: M203 E10000 G10 G11 -> Retract is fast. Klick-klack.
Test 2: M203 E100 G10 G11 -> Retract is slow. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-brrrrrrr.
Thus the M203 appears to be a global hard limit that is limiting hardware retracts as well. That would break the retract performance if I set the feed limit per filament with M203.
My unmet goal is still: I want some extrusion limit, so that I can limit the flow rate capability for each hotend / filament.
For example: I switch the filament to PETG -> max 20 mm³/s I switch the filament to PLA -> max. 23 mm³/s I switch the filament to Flex -> max. 8 mm³/s (The Gcode does not know this limit and would become more filament independend.)
I write this request because I use duet side filament configurations. That includes:
Temperature settings for idle and active state
hardware retraction
Plus it would be awsome to limit the printing feedrate for specific types or filament by putting some M20x code inside the config.g of each affected filament.
I do not want to affect the travel feedrate. We normally would have a G0 : Rapid Move G1 : Controlled *(linear) Move which could be used for fast travel moves or printing moves. But the documentation at https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode sais:
And I read that cura might be using G0 and G1 correctly:
_Some maybe hack to achieve what I want: I suppose that we already could define the slicers travel feedrate way higher than the printers feedrate limit. https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M203_Set_maximum_feedrate And if I set the slicers extrusion move feedrate to some value as 100mm/s Then we might be able to scale the feedrate for every filament using https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M220_Set_speed_factor_override_percentage which should not affect the travel feedrate because this is still atop of maximum. (?) Then a M220 S80 means 80mm/s, but travel feedrate still at max. (...)_
But nevertheless I want to write this feature request because in my eyes the hardware filament configuration is the future. It makes gcode much more transferable between machines. A gcode setting for a "hardware printing feedrate limit" would be a clean solution to this problem.
