Marlin 2.1.2 has been released!

- #Marlin 2.1.2 introduces #InputShaping to compensate for machine vibrations by carefully timing its movement impulses.
- #InputShaping results in much cleaner output and allows for higher print speeds with no loss of quality. Although this implementation has received extensive testing, it is still considered experimental.

I agree.

I am, however, not limited by my hotend at the moment, more by my printer.

The only reason why I am still running #Octoprint and #Marlin is because I don't have the accelerometer yet to tune #InputShaping in #Klipper. Once I get it, I will make the switch, because until then, the effort won't be "worth" it because my improvement might be minimal except for a slight increase in speed.

The reason why I haven't upgraded my hotend yet is because of the cost and also the due to the weird shape and form of the #Creality #CR6SE due to the load cell bed leveling sensor

Replacing the hotend won't be worth it until after I switch to Klipper because I can probably hit between 15 and 20 mm^3/s flow rate.

Lofts and fillets were the greatest improvements that I could have made to my designs and completely changed my style.

Not only did it improve my printed and designed parts visually, but also improved strength and printability.

By removing sharp corners from your designs, slower and older printers can more easily print your designs and the printing speed can easily be increased even with the lack of #LinearAdvanced and #InputShaping.

The strength is also improved by creating a small chamfer or fillet where a thin wall connects to a larger surface, by increasing the contact surface and sometimes enlarging the surface enough to allow for extra infill.

Finally, rounded corners also result in more consistent printed results, especially when you are printing many copies of the same part, due to the decrease in possible errors and shifts that could occur on sharp corners.

It's not magic, it's maths! Well, okay, it's actually both. https://youtube.com/shorts/bzNB46Av740 #InputShaping #3Dprinting

*Reads. Looks straight forward.*

WELP. There goes this weekend. I'm already on Marlin 2.1.1 so this should be good to go, @marlinfirmware 😈 #3DPrinting #InputShaping

Input Shaping

https://marlinfw.org/docs/gcode/M593.html

Set the Input Shaping damping factor and/or frequency (in Hertz) for axes that support it. Use M593 with no parameters to report the current settings.
