How It Works

Acceleration controls how fast the print head speeds up/slows down. Too high = ringing/ghosting artifacts. Too low = slow prints that never reach target speed. Bed slingers need lower Y acceleration (heavy bed). Input shaper (Klipper) allows 2-3x higher acceleration by canceling resonance. Start conservative and increase.
