FR: Arc Support

Open samwiseg0 opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

When running klipper_estimator on an arc-welded file it provides wildly incorrect estimates. Ideally, the gcode file could be processed through klipper_estimator after its been arc-welded.

Hi!

Currently gcode arcs aren't supported. I'll look into how difficult it would be to support.

Best regards, Lasse

Just ran into this myself. Using Arc Welder for a sliced model, I'm getting times around 2.5 hrs reported by klipper_estimator, but with Arc Welder off, it comes to 4.5 hrs.

Klipper recommends against using arcs... You save a bit of file-size, but gain nothing in quality over not using arcs.

Not seeing where it is not recommended?

Regardless, asking to support something that klipper itself supports is valid and whether or not it is recommend is not really pertinent in this issue.

Added in #2c7b578, released as v3.2.0.
