A word of advice: Racing your printer as fast as you can *costs* you time, it does not make the entire process faster.
An afternoon or even an entire weekend spent dialing in your machine and your settings pays for itself in your first big project.
If you spend 10 hours dialing in, then add on slower printer that costs you another few hours per job... So what? That's all machine time while you sleep. All this echo/ringing probably cost you 50 hours in manual labor and reduced part quality. And you also had to resin coat everything adding time, cost and weight.

I figure every added hour on the printer is a savings of 3 hours of my time so the machine is welcome to take as long as it takes to do a good job. I'll take parts that come off the printer looking like this even if its more machine time, any day.
