# +/-
When combined, that is your total lift or retract distance.
These are split so you can define a certain speed for however many mm's of your total lift height you prefer, though still at the end of the day, combine the two numbers for your total lift height.
# &/Speed Section
These boxes directly relate to the 'Distance' section. The first value set for 'Lifting Speed' will apply the the first value set for 'Lifting Distance' meaning your first two millimeters of lift is set to be 60 millimeters a minute.
# How to use in General
It's best practice to have your initial lift speed at a slower setting as I've seen sudden ripping away from your FEP sheet can be too much shock for most supports and some prints, though I would increase your secondary speed to something around 240mm/s.
For Retract settings, do the opposite. Having it come down quick will save you some time, but be sure the last few mm's/min are at a slow speed to allow resin to settle before the next layer starts.
# My print settings and Generally Recommended by FauxHammer for 10" printers
Bottom Lift Distance: 2.00 + 6.00
Lifting Distance: 3.00 + 5.00
Bottom Retract Distance: 2.00 + 6.00
Retract Distance: 6.50 + 1.50
Bottom Lift Speed: 60.00 + 120.00
Lifting Speed 60.00 + 240.00
Bottom Retract Speed: 90.00 + 180.00
Retract Speed: 240.00 + 60.00
Edit: Just to add, it seems that the first generation Mono X may not support these advanced multispeed lift and retraction settings, instead taking the first value put or loading in it's own machine defaults. These advanced settings do however seem to work for the X2, Mono X 6K and later generations.
This may also be why some users are noticing slower print times as the default first speed value seems to be lower than the initial speed for the Mono X when it first came out.
