The different performance modes, namely Silent, Fast, and Default, primarily differ in whether to enable the TMC silent mode of the XYZ linear modules, the maximum printing speed, and the maximum acceleration.
Printing noise is generally generated by high-speed and high-acceleration traveling and infilling during printing.
You can learn about the detailed difference between the three performance modes in the following table.

Recommended When |
Lower printing noise is desired, regardless of the printing speed. |
No special requirement for the printing noise or printing speed. |
Higher printing speed is desired, regardless of the printing noise. |
1Multi-axis motion refers to the case when the extruder moves along the X and Y axes simultaneously.
2Single-axis motion refers to the case when the extruder moves only along the X or Y axes.
The description of the Printing Noise Level in the table is relative, not absolute.
In the case of Power Loss Recovery, the machine will resume printing in the same mode that had been selected before the power loss.
New printings start in the Default performance mode by default. The mode selected for one printing task will not be saved for future tasks.
