Marlin acceleration questions
February 15, 2013 09:07AM
Hey all,

I'm trying to get a handle on how the acceleration and jerk settings affect prints, so I'm going to try a variety of values to see how much the quality changes. What is not immediately clear, however, is the difference between DEFAULT_ACCELERATION and DEFAULT_MAX_ACCELERATION. If a default acceleration value is set, what would cause Marlin to use a higher value closer to the max? Looking through the code I think that the max accel value comes into play in direction changes, but I'm not actually sure of that.

If I am interested in changing acceleration for printing quality purposes, I'm assuming I just want to change DEFAULT_ACCELERATION with M204. Would there be any advantage to changing max acceleration values as well?

Thanks!
