Hi Bill
about this :
"Notice the cool "hack" used to increase the motor torque and slow down the cutting action... and then also notice the homing to reset it afterwards."
i would love to have that Section for Klipper ! is that possible ?
can you share please ?
many Thanks
I've found it every bit as effective to raise the current to the stepper rather than decrease the steps. Also, this doesn't require homing to reset it.
This is the code snippit that does the trick:
M906 X1060 ; Boost Stepper Current ; cut off filament tip G0 X35 F5000 ; Cut the filament quickly G0 X-35 F5000 ; Move X back to position M906 X580 ; Restore Stepper Current
Note that the control board has to support current change. Older Creality boards don't.
I don't do firmware specific code... but all you need to do is make a Klipper macro to emulate the same functions. Perhaps someone in the community can help. Look at the Klipper documentation to see what the relevant commands are and just change the code to them.
