    I'm not sure if people are really active here but I'll try posting anyway.

    I've discovered a bit of a revolutionary additional step which improves print quality considerably.

    There is a code processor called Arc Welder that simplifies your gcode, transforming straight lines into arcs, and removing unnecessary reference points. I find it really cleans up the print.

    You can add it as a plugin to Octoprint, it automatically processes the files on upload - that's the method I've been using at least.

    Truly recommend it - I've attached a photo of the same print with and without the Arc Welder processing. I expect you can tell which is which!

    Well, I guess we know how active this part of the forum is. Where is this available?
