# Cornering
|
||||
|
||||
Cornering is a critical aspect of 3D printing that affects the quality and accuracy of prints. It refers to how the printer handles changes in direction during movement, particularly at corners and curves. Proper cornering settings can help reduce artifacts like ringing, ghosting, and overshooting, leading to cleaner and more precise prints.

## Junction Deviation
|
||||
|
||||
Junction Deviation is the default method for controlling cornering speed in MarlinFW (Marlin2) printers.
|
||||
Higher values result in more aggressive cornering speeds, while lower values produce smoother, more controlled cornering.
|
||||
The default value in Marlin is typically set to 0.08mm, which may be too high for some printers, potentially causing ringing. Consider lowering this value to reduce ringing, but avoid setting it too low, as this could lead to excessively slow cornering speeds.
|
||||
Junction Deviation is the default method for controlling cornering speed in **Marlin firmware (Marlin 2.x)**.
|
||||
Higher values allow more aggressive cornering, while lower values produce smoother, more controlled corners.
|
||||
The default value in Marlin is often `0.08mm`, which may be too high for some printers and may cause ringing. Consider lowering this value to reduce ringing, but avoid setting it too low that could lead to excessively slow cornering speed.

|
||||
- **YOLO:** Simplified method that adjusts the flow rate in a single pass using the formula `FlowRatio_old±modifier`.

||||
- **Recommended:** Calibration range `[-0.05, +0.05]`, flow rate step is `0.01`.
|

- **Perfectionist Version:** Calibration range `[-0.04, +0.035]`, flow rate step is `0.005`.

- **YOLO:** A simplified method that adjusts the flow rate in a single pass using the formula `OldFlowRatio ± modifier`.

|
||||
- **Perfectionist:** calibration range `[-0.04, +0.035]`, flow rate step `0.005`.
|
||||
- **2-Pass Calibration:** the legacy method, using two passes to determine the optimal flow rate with the formula `OldFlowRatio * (100 + modifier) / 100`.
|
||||
|
||||
### OrcaSlicer > 2.3.0 Archimedean chords + YOLO (Recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
This example demonstrates the use of [Archimedean chords](strength_settings_infill#archimedean-chords) for flow rate calibration using the YOLO (Recommended) method.
|
||||
This method uses the [Archimedean Chords](strength_settings_patterns#archimedean-chords) pattern for flow rate calibration with the YOLO (Recommended) approach.
|
||||
|
||||
WIP...
|
||||
1. Select the printer and the filament you want to calibrate.
|
||||
This method is based on the filament's current flow ratio, so make sure you select the correct filament before proceeding.
|
||||
2. In the `Calibration` menu, under the `Flow Rate` section, select `YOLO (Recommended)`.
|
||||
3. A new project with eleven blocks will be created, each with a different flow rate modifier. Slice and print the project.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Examine the printed blocks and identify the one with the best surface quality. Look for:
|
||||
1. The smoothest top surface.
|
||||
2. No visible gaps between the pattern arcs.
|
||||
3. Minimal or no visible line between the Inner Spiral and the Outer Arcs.
|
||||
|
||||
In this example, the block with a flow modifier of `+0.01` produced the best results, despite a visible line between the Inner Spiral and the Outer Arcs; reducing the flow further begins to show gaps between the lines.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Update the flow ratio in the filament settings using the equation: `OldFlowRatio ± modifier`.
|
||||
If your previous flow ratio was `0.98` and you selected the block with a flow rate modifier of `+0.01`, the new value would be: `0.98 + 0.01 = 0.99`.
|
||||
**Remember** to save the filament profile.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> The new Archimedean chords pattern uses a specific print order that prints the inner spiral last so you can check for material accumulation on the contact line at the end.
|
||||
|
||||
### OrcaSlicer <= 2.3.0 Monotonic Line + 2-Pass Calibration
|
||||
|
||||
This example demonstrates the use of Monotonic Line for flow rate calibration using the 2-Pass Calibration method.
|
||||
This example uses the Monotonic Line pattern with the 2-Pass Calibration approach.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Calibrating the flow rate involves a two-step process.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Select the printer, filament, and process you would like to use for the test.
|
||||
2. Select `Pass 1` in the `Calibration` menu
|
||||
3. A new project consisting of nine blocks will be created, each with a different flow rate modifier. Slice and print the project.
|
||||
1. Select the printer, filament, and process you want to use for the test.
|
||||
2. In the `Calibration` menu, under the `Flow Rate` section, select `Pass 1`.
|
||||
3. A new project with nine blocks will be created, each with a different flow rate modifier. Slice and print the project.
|
||||
4. Examine the blocks and determine which one has the smoothest top surface.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
5. Update the flow ratio in the filament settings using the following equation: `FlowRatio_old*(100 + modifier)/100`. If your previous flow ratio was `0.98` and you selected the block with a flow rate modifier of `+5`, the new value should be calculated as follows: `0.98x(100+5)/100 = 1.029`. **Remember** to save the filament profile.
|
||||
6. Perform the `Pass 2` calibration. This process is similar to `Pass 1`, but a new project with ten blocks will be generated. The flow rate modifiers for this project will range from `-9 to 0`.
|
||||
7. Repeat steps 4. and 5. In this case, if your previous flow ratio was 1.029 and you selected the block with a flow rate modifier of -6, the new value should be calculated as follows: `1.029x(100-6)/100 = 0.96726`. **Remember** to save the filament profile.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
5. Update the flow ratio in the filament settings using the equation: `OldFlowRatio * (100 + modifier) / 100`.
|
||||
For example, if your previous flow ratio was `0.98` and you selected the block with a flow rate modifier of `+5`, the new value would be: `0.98 × (100 + 5) / 100 = 1.029`.
|
||||
**Remember** to save the filament profile.
|
||||
6. Perform the `Pass 2` calibration. This process is similar to `Pass 1`, but a new project with ten blocks will be generated. The flow rate modifiers for this project will range from `-9` to `0`.
|
||||
7. Repeat steps 4 and 5. For example, if your previous flow ratio was `1.029` and you selected the block with a flow rate modifier of `-6`, the new value would be: `1.029 × (100 - 6) / 100 = 0.96726`.

||||
