Accelerometer how to article
Hi,
We've created an article about the accelerometer. In case you've made any modifications to the printer hardware it may be beneficial to re-calibrate.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here or in the comments section of the article.
Happy printing!

RE: Accelerometer how to article
Thank you for this. Once I get my MK4S kit and the accelerometer addon (not expecting ship date until week 45), I'll be swapping to plated copper heater blocks so I can use my WC nozzles. I've been holding off because I expect the heavier copper heater blocks to need slightly different IS tuning.
The article doesn't show where to put the M593 command, I assume in the start gcode. But where is best? Before or after MBL? Looking at the default MK4IS profiles (and the MK4S profiles) for guidance, I don't see M593 in any of the start gcodes. I sliced a cube real quick using one of the MK4IS profiles (switching off bgcode) and opened the resulting GCode in a text editor. Searching for M593 only shows two instances in the end gcode turning IS off. How is IS turned on?

You do not need to do anything with the values once they are displayed - they will be automatically applied to the printer.
I'm guess a recalibration will be advisable after a firmware upgrade.
I'll have a full video guide on the entire process soon 😉
