Performance mode?
Vcore 3.1 500 octopus board with EBB 1.2 toolboard, orbiter 2.5 extruder, phateus rapido hf hot end. I notice in the machine setup wizard if I enable "performance mode" it changes all the stepper motor drive current from 1.1 to 1.6 except for the extruder motor which remains at .707 regardless of performance mode or not. I'm looking to speed the machine up. My question is if all the other motors current are upped doesn't the extruder current have to go up as well to keep up with the new speed of the x any y axes?

0.707 is already the rated current for the extruder motor. Bumping it higher will cause it to overheat.
