<p>How do I speed up prints for the Monoprice Select IIIP Plus printer?</p>

<p>The manual shows [Cura] examples of:</p>

<ul>
<li>Print speed: 50mm/s</li>
<li>Travel Speed: 80mm/s</li>
<li>Bottom Layer Speed: 20mm/s</li>
<li>Infill Speed: 50mm/s</li>
<li>Outer shell speed: 15mm/s</li>
<li>Inner shell speed: 30mm/s</li>
</ul>

<p>However, this doesn’t line up with their advertisements online of a 150mm/s printing speed.</p>

<p>Are there better settings to use, especially ones which can speed up printing time? Or are there any other measures which I can take in order to reduce printing time in general? </p>

In my experience a print speed of 50-70mm/s is ideal. Even if you set the speed to 150mm/s the print head still changes directions often and rarely will have enough time to accelerate from 0->150 before changing direction again.
Some more effective ways of speeding up prints is to adjust
Layer height
Infill percentage (15-25% for regular prints, more if they need to be more sound)
Supports
Number of shells, etc
