berend 0 Posted November 9, 2011 in what is Sprinter ? Hi, Sprinter indeed is a firmware hack with several improvements and a different approach of positioning. In stead of moving steps step if creates a path with a acceleration-speed-deacceleration. See: http://wiki.ultimaker.com/Sprinter_firm ... _Ultimaker Sprinter has a derivative called Marlin. A it finds it key to succes in trying to keep speed constant by looking ahead in your printing sequence.
