Slic3r vs Firmware acceleration settings
September 23, 2014 12:11PM
Hey Guys,

There's something which I never quite fully understood, and that is the acceleration settings in slic3r and the firmware, If i for example in repetier firmware specify a max print acceleration of 800 mm/s^2 and a travel acceleration of 1000 mm/s^2 what happens then if i specify 2000 mm/s^2 in slic3r as an acceleration setting for bridge printing ? - does the firmware simply ignore that request or .. ? Sorry for possible stupid questions.

The firmware is the ultimate speed limiter. If the slicer requests a high speed, and the hardware can't support that (as represented in the firmware settings) then that speed will never be attained. Instead, it will no longer accelerate once it reaches the firmware max.
