## Cura Settings
### Speed
You can really cut down on print time with jerk control. The limit for my stock ender 3 s1
plus is around 30mm/s jerk and 160mm/s print speed. Here are my recommended settings for a faster
print than stock while retaining good quality:
| Setting | Value |
| ------------------- | ------- |
| Print speed | 160mm/s |
| Wall speed | 80mm/s |
| Top/Bottom speed | 80mm/s |
| Initial Layer Speed | 80mm/s |
| Print Jerk | 16mm/s |
The effectiveness of these settings is pretty dramatic. Switching from Cura's stock 60mm/s speed
with 15mm/s initial layer to these settings takes a 31 hour print down to 18 hours with no quality
decrease.
In theory you could increase jerk to 30mm/s and run the whole print at 160mm/s. This would shave
another ~6? hours off the print. I've not had much success at these speeds.
This printer's kryptonite is instant change in velocity. The print head and plate are heavy enough
that the printer will vibrate itself apart if not slowed down before changing direction. For
example, at 60mm/s print jerk the wheels spin themselves off the build plate and the belt starts
slipping.
## Leveling
It's extremely important that you follow the leveling procedure below
1. Home the z axis
2. Navigate to leveling and select Aux Lvl. Do not press auto level- it breaks the printer
3. Set a negative offset until the nozzle touches the bed
4. Move the offset up until the nozzle lifts up from the bed, then go one more up
5. Go through each corner, rotate the adjustment wheels until the nozzle is just barely above the bed. Dont worry about being super accurate, mesh leveling will handle any small variances
6. Re-home the Z axis. This is important because weve just shifted the beds position.
7. Re-check that the nozzle is just above the print surface in the center of the bed
8. print a benchy, adjust the z offset as needed
