Arcwelder?

[CNCModeller]

Hi All,
Has anyone had any success using Arcwelder? Am thinking about giving it a try.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Cheers

@cncmodeller If you are useing high accel then i would give it a try.

First one without Second one with.
IT also depends on the resulotion of the stl

ArcWelder can improve prints but I'd inspect every single model for unwanted changes before printing it after postprocessing with ArcWelder. Some slicers do what ArcWelder does natively now, and even there I rarely enable the feature.

@cncmodeller I'm using it permanently without problems.
I don't expect any advantages other than smaller files, so I didn't make any testprints.

@cncmodeller I'm using with Prusa Slicer. So far, no problems. I've added program to my post-processing scripts section, so it's run when saving/uploading the gcode.

@cncmodeller I am using but started getting strange results. After I get the job printed with gcode that doesn't use "G3" I will watch what it is doing and report back here.

@stephen6309 +1
I also use it with duet 2 Ethernet, external drivers (BLDC Servos for X and Y) and as a script in Prusaslicer. I've not done extensive tests, but the prints do look smoother. Never had any issues with it.

Ok, so the general consensus seems to be it's worth a look. I'll add it to my post processing options in S3D and see how it fairs.

Thanks for the thoughts folks.
