Parameters

value (mm/s²): Print acceleration. Typical values: 500-3000 mm/s².

How it works

Set Acceleration controls the acceleration (M204 S) in the generated G-code. It affects how quickly the printer ramps up and down speed during moves. Lower values produce smoother motion; higher values allow faster printing.
