Before You Print
Print Quality Profiles
Three presets for common use cases with High Speed PLA on the Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro.
| Profile | Layer Height | Speed | Infill | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Draft | 0.28mm | 300 mm/s | 10-15% | Rapid prototyping, test fits |
| Standard | 0.20mm | 225 mm/s | 15-20% | General purpose, everyday prints |
| Quality | 0.12mm | 150 mm/s | 20-30% | Miniatures, display pieces, fine detail |
Bed Adhesion
High-Speed PLA adheres like regular PLA but the faster print speeds mean first-layer adhesion is even more critical. Use a clean PEI sheet, slow down the first layer to 25-50% of normal speed, and increase bed temperature by 5°C if you see lifting.
Temperature Tuning Guide
Nozzle: 210°C
Range: 190-230°C. Printer max: 300°C.
- Poor layer adhesion? Increase +5°C
- Stringing or oozing? Decrease -5°C
- Print a temperature tower to find your exact sweet spot
Bed: 53°C
Range: 45-60°C. Printer max: 110°C.
- First layer lifting? Increase +5°C
- Elephant's foot? Decrease -5°C
- Let the bed fully preheat before starting
Troubleshooting High Speed PLA on Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro
Pro Tips for High Speed PLA
Enable input shaping (Klipper) or pressure advance to reduce artifacts at high speeds
High-speed PLA is formulated for higher flow rates; use a high-flow hotend for best results
Start at moderate speed and increase gradually; not every printer can handle the maximum rated speed
First layer should always be slow (25-50% of target) regardless of how fast the rest of the print runs
Support Settings
For prints requiring supports with High Speed PLA, use tree supports for easier removal and less scarring. Set a 0.15-0.2mm Z-distance between support and model. If you have a dual-extruder setup, consider PVA (for PLA/PETG) or HIPS (for ABS) as dedicated water/solvent-soluble support material.
