I was thinking the other day about a printer's ability to draw sharp corners and the ability of input shaping to control ghosting. I then had a thought that may or may not be stupid, but here it is:
What if instead of following the regular path a sharp corner would, the tool head would follow this kind of path:
Black line represents the actual print, orange is where the toolhead would lift, green arrow is a forward motion and red would be backwards travel.
The drawing may not be the clearest representation so: toolhead lifts at the end of the line and overshoots and retracts to not leave any blobs. it follows the orange line to go back and align with the next path, pretravels along path mitigating any sideways vibrations, lowers toolhead at the start of next segment and continues printing.
I imagine this being a feature that can be toggled.
I reckon that while it would add time to the print, it may also mitigate ghosting and rounded corners as well. I am not aware if this idea has been brought up before so I apologize if it has.
I have no prior experience with coding and would not have the slightest idea where to start, however, if anybody thinks the idea is worth anything and has the know-how to implement it, maybe it can be given a shot.
Thank you.
