      I have noticed that long travel moves are not smooth. If a G1 command is sent to quickly move a long fistance, the print head decelerates and accelerates several times during the move.

      What could be causing this? Z axis movement settings too conservative for mesh grid compensation?

      Here's a video of the phenomenon:

      Here is my config file:

        I suspect it is because you are using mesh bed compensation but you have a very low Z jerk limit set in your M566 command. When the head crosses a ridge or valley in the height map, the Z motor has to reverse direction. It's slowing down to keep the change in Z motor speed within the jerk limit.

          @dc42 Thanks for the explanation, that makes a lot of sense. When I have access to my machine again I'll try that out.
