Merge

Migrating: For MatterControl 2.0 the MatterControl documentation is moving to matterhackers.com/mattercontrol/support/.
This page is in the process of being migrated. It's new home will be matterhackers.com/mattercontrol/support/slice-settings/speed/speed#initial-layer-speed.

A screenshot of the First Layer Speed setting as seen in MatterControl's SETTINGS pane.

Function

The speed at which the nozzle will move when printing the first layer. If expressed as a percentage the Infill speed is modified. This affects the first layer of the print as well as the first layer of the raft, if there is one.

Parameters

Custom G-Code Variable

first_layer_speed

Example(s)

mm/s

In this example, the first layer will print at 20 mm/s.

%

In this example, the first layer will print at 35% of the Infill speed (which for this example is set at 40), so the final speed will be 14 mm/s.
