Acceleration and feedrates

I use slic3r pe almost exclusively.

In the machine limits section slic3r is expecting mm/s².

Marlin itself has these values in config.h as mm/s.

Haven't been able to find a direct conversion from mm/s to mm/s².

For anyone curious, this makes a huge difference in the slicing logic and printer movements.

So, how do I convert, for example 3000 mm/s to mm/s²?

Thanks.

... acceleration is not speed or feedrate!

The "3000mm/s" is the feedrate or the maximal speed for this move.

The acceleration will define, how fast you'll change from 0mm/s to 3000mm/s and the same for deccelerating before stop or starting the next line segment ...

I'm not arguing this point.

What I was trying to figure out is that, marlin has their value (default maximum acceleration) defined as mm/s.

Slic3r pe expects the value of maximum acceleration for x as mm/s².

Again, I'm not trying to argue the semantics of the technical accuracy of the terminology. Maybe marlin and slic3r need to get together and coordinate the movement value definitions. This is not my doing. I'm just trying to figure out what value in slic3r equals the values in marlin.

... so this is wrong spelling or dimension -- maybe a forgotten ² ?

No error in Marlin, just a funny way to express a. May be they couldn't find the ² on the keyboard


From Marlin config.h

/**
* Default Max Acceleration (change/s) change = mm/s
* (Maximum start speed for accelerated moves)
* Override with M201
