My S5 has a 1.4mm error in a distance of 140mm on the Y axis. I noticed this after printing two Frame v2.stl from Disney World Magic Kingdom 3D Miniature on printables, printed with 2 printers and they weren't the same dimensions, but only for the Y axis! Should be 134.75 but is 137mm and this is in the V (Very coarse) category from above. Does anyone have a dev-mode fix for this? Since this is marlin firmware it should be easy to adjust the e-steps/mm, correct?

For me the assumption on my part was that "experimental" means "new and better techniques to try that will make my print look better" but without fully understanding a feature lots of people might go down this same incorrect path and not realize it when they change multiple settings at a time without understanding the implications or printing a test cube in-between. If the setting had a visualization (or picture of what it does), that could help new users immensely.

To me, this looks fine. As long as you aren't experiencing any print quality issues, this is normal. That vibration that you are experiencing between the outer-walls and the infill seems normal and is a factor of the extrusion lines being very small. If it bothers you, You can set Infill Printing speed to slower, or You can also enable Jerk control and reduce jerk to 6-8mm/s(?) and that may likely help with the jerkyness on the infill. If the S5 had input shaping then the vibrations could be much less, but for now we at least have jerk control in the slicer settings available.

I read somewhere that the S series (particularly S5) is using Marlin firmware. I just updated my original Ender 3 firmware to Marlin 2.1.x and and tuned Input Shaping after printing the acceleration tower, and it practically completely fixed my ringing in my letters. I wonder if it might be possible for the future for S5 to have input shaping? Or is it a complete rebuild of the firmware to make this happen? Input shaping is said to be the best thing in 3D printing for some time, and I agree, it really helped increase the quality of my Ender3 prints! Hopefully S series can implement this function too, regardless of any accelerometer, I can tune it manually if the feature is implemented 🙂 That would rebreathe life into some of these old S5 printers, because even with the visual setting my S5 still has ringing on letterings which would obviously benefit from input shaping. My Ender3 has a 400x400 bed which is very heavy, and the input shaping was the only trick that helped slow the vibrations from that Y movement. TL;DR, I would love to see input shaping on the S series printers, regardless if it requires a long time to tune and get it right.

In your balanced profile, what is your speed set to? Is your s5 on a flat sturdy surface or oscillating back and forth? How fast are we talking about?

can you get a magenetic pei sheet and stick it to the metal buildplate of the s5? I haven't tried it yet but see others with s5 and different sheets than glass.
