This paper introduces a customized Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) printer, featuring an advanced electromechanical system that achieves a substantial 500% increase in printing speed compared to con-ventional FFF printers. This research scrutinizes the printer's capabilities, emphasizing the dimension-al accuracy. Specifically, this study focuses on the investigation of the effect of high printing speeds on the dimensional accuracy of linear artifacts. The material selected is Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) and the FFF-fabricated parts are designed and measured based on the ISO ASTM 52902-2021 standard. Last but not least, statistical analysis and comments are following, showing remarkable re-sults on such high-speeds.
