Hi! Thanks for making this tool, it is very handy.

I'm currently trying to grasp the limitation of accelleration on stepper motor drives. I've used your calculator on a few motors, and i noticed that generally people report running 2-4 times higher accelleration on their printers before running into issues than your calculator says is possible.

I am not sure these printers actually run at the requested speed, but certainly there is some difference between running at the speed your calculator produces and a vastly higher speed, i can see that on my own printer which accellerates more violently.

So i am wondering, what gives? Shouldn't the stepper skip steps if you ask it to go TOO fast? The stepper driver has no feedback loop to tell. I can't notice lost steps below 20.000 mm/s² accelleration using really small NEMA 17 motors with only 1.68 A capability and a rated torque of only 36Ncm, inertia of 54 g/cm² driving a rather heavy gantry at 800gr.

I would really apprechiate if someone could explain this discrepancy to me, i am not very familiar with stepper drives.
