    Good Day

    I see that the acceleration and speeds of the machine can be changed and then saved to firmware in the openbuild software.

    How does one increase the speed of the tool for when it needs to transition back to start with the next operation. I currently have a face job but find that it would run and then by the end before it comes back to start the next it will travel super slow. This takes up a lot of time and a simple stock of 100mmx100mm takes 6 hours to face lol

    I have changed retract speeds in fusion but it makes no difference.

    the acceleration and speeds you set for the controller are used for:
    accleration is used for all moves, both when starting and when stopping
    max speed is used for rapid moves, this is the fastest the machine can move reliably.

    When you are actually cutting, the movement speed is set by the Gcode.
    Therefore, your slow movements must be in the gcode. If you use the 'upload a file' button and give us the gcode we can confirm that for you.

    Fusion has a LOT of settings, I think the ones you want are on the linking tab, I think you have set the 'preserve rapids' to off and set the rapid movement speed to something slow.
    Rather preserve rapids so the machine can move freely on the retracts.

    I do use the personal use yes. So is the Openbuild post processor GBRL flavor?
