There is no such property as `startDragDistance` and I’m not sure how you got the effect. Anyway, the correct code snippet (from [this post](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/segmentation-drawing-tablet/842/37)):

```auto
paint=slicer.modules.segmenteditor.widgetRepresentation().self().editor.effectByName("Paint")
paint.delayedPaint=False
paint.minimumPaintPointDistance=3

```
