Slowly increase speed on first layer #10671

Is your feature request related to a problem?

I have a CR6-SE which has a G10/glass bed, and I really like it. Except sometimes the beginning of lines of the first layer won't stick for the first like 10 millimeters. It will put up up the filament until it starts sticking. I had to turn down my first layer speed to like 10 mm/s to fix this (from 20 mm/s).

Describe the solution you'd like

I think there should be a setting where you can choose the speed to start each line at (for the first layer), and over a user-defined distance, it will ramp it up. For example, I would tell it to start at 10 mm/s, and over the next 20 mm or so, I would want it to ramp up to 20 mm/s, or potentially faster. This would have to be applied for every line on the first layer, not just the beginning, or possibly just every wall line, and do infill at the normal speed. possibly

Describe alternatives you've considered

Alternatively, you can just slow down the whole first layer, but that slows down prints a lot, especially ones that have a large first layer.

Affected users and/or printers

I think this can benefit everyone with G10 beds, or possibly everyone who has bed adhesion problems.

Hi @JohnnyWobble thank you for your feature request. I will bring this up for discussion with the team. Keep you posted.

I have discussed this with the team. And we decided to reject this feature since we don't think that this would add much value. You could use a skirt for example to check if the material sticks to the build plate.
