It does help, thanks. I’ve not noticed any Z issues that I thought were from microstepping. I’d just always heard the “magic Z height” for printers to utilize full step increments as being desirable. I’ll just say eff it and keep letting KISSLICER do a brilliant job of using dynamic layer height.

Thanks again everyone. Trying to work out a replacement linear rail solution for the X axis to remove some artifacts and then I think this printer will be quite brilliant.

@Phaedrux I may toss the stepper I have on there. Unfortunately the microstepping is maxed out. Definitely makes the case for upgrading to a duet 3. But I’m going to see what I can come up with before making that move. Currently printing all walls at 60mm/sec to see the results of that.

Thanks much!

The bowden alone on the Artemis is roughly 800mm, then the length of the Y connector (dual extruder) leading to the hotend and the hotend path itself..... so total length I’m guessing around 900mm. The K-Factor print is a single layer. It prints 10 lines at different PA values so that you can examine them afterwards and pick the most uniform line. Seemed to be a good test but for whatever reason a simple stringing test model fails every time with PA enabled. It ends ups with excessive filament on the nozzle to the point that it not longer is putting layers down on the model. Turn PA off and rerun same gcode and the model will finish just fine. 🤷🏻‍♂️

This is essentially the same test I run to find a value.
