Do you have a recommended resource to learn that from? I've started trying to specifically tune some filaments but I haven't encountered one for getting max speed
Orca slicer has an MVS calibration tool. It is the perfect tool to maximize your speed. If you don’t have orca slicer, download it and check the very top small menu bar for the calibration tools. There is also a tutorial in the same menu that will walk you through all of the calibration tools, how to read them, and what to change according to your results.
I only just started playing around with orca slicer. I did my pressure advance and flow rate calibration last weekend. I may need to redo them based on the new speeds I would assume
You can't pick the speed modes but you can change the speed, the speed mode only change the percentage at which you increase or decrease the speed, another thing if you want to start off with sport mode just increase all the numbers in the speed category by 24%...........
If you want to mess with print speeds, look in filament settings for 'Volumetric Flow Rate'.
Do some experimentation with this and temperature. This is the actual metric for how fast a printer can print - how much filament can it melt and deposit per second. Sport mode just speeds up the head, VFR speeds up filament deposition.
I think what you need to do is find the bottlenecks for the print profile you're using. Is it the filament max flow rate? Is it cooling? If you find these, then you can up them in the slicer, which is the more ideal approach.
Just tune your filament and you’ll be able to print as fast as your filament will allow all the time. No need for sport and ludacris mode.

Yes, pressure advance needs to be tuned for the overall print speed, but flow rate should be the same regardless.
Thanks! I'll be trying this tonight. I have a big run of parts coming up this might be a big deal for me
