Not as effective with PrusaSlicer's new "Pressure Equalization" setting
PrusaSlicer introduced a new beta feature: https://help.prusa3d.com/article/pressure-equalizer-_331504
When this is used in combination with ArcWelder, the total amount of arcs created is much less. I would theorize that is because ArcWelder can only weld segments that have identical speed / acceleration.
If the above is true, is there any hope for ArcWelding these files, or are the two methods entirely incompatible?
That's correct. Segments can only be welded together if the settings don't change. There needs to be a new GCODE command every time the printer needs to do something different. But I would rather use firmware pressure advance (klipper) / linear advance (marlin) which do the same thing with the advantage that the firmware has much more real time control over the pressure than the slicer.
