    Interesting, that would confirm the pressure advance as the likely culprit (speed and acceleration are taken into account in the algo). Maybe your slicer has a bug related to this? If changing the value wildly does not improve or worsen it, then it might not be calculating what it’s supposed to. Can you try another slicer?





  • That’s cool! I’ve used enough raspberry pi’s over the years to know that SD cards, even if industrial grade are likely to fail at some point so I try to avoid booting from them. eMMC would be much better but sometimes a pain to flash depending on the tooling available. Having a SATA port would allow to use HDDs which provide a lot of capacity for cheap. I guess the processor needs to be an Amlogic for the best media experience?




  • beeb@lemm.eeto3DPrinting@lemmy.worldWhy do we still use stepper motors?

    Have you seen how fast printers with stepper motors can get? They print benchies in less than 3 minutes. The bottleneck is not the motion system, it’s either the hot-end or the part cooling. Also stepper are super accurate and very flexible. Drivers are advanced and can tune for torque, speed, sound etc. Collision detection and skipped step detection is also a thing.
