Speed

FASTER — 100 mm/s and beyond is the entire point. But the filament does not make your printer faster: your hotend sets the ceiling. Run the flow ramp test before believing any number on the box.

Bed surface

Textured or smooth PEI. At high speed a clean plate matters more, not less.

Nozzle

A 0.4 mm nozzle physically cannot pass enough plastic to reach this filament's flow rating. 0.6 mm is where the speed actually shows up.
