Hello, Having fun with nonstandard frames and I am an inveterate bodger so I was curious about yesterday’s blog post about simplifying the calculations for calibration by assuming rectangularity. (fun emergent curve on the graph) It seems like a good logical jump to get started on calibration to assume that the frame is generally rectangular but then would the calibration go back to fine tuning as not rectangular to make the final calibrations? I was just thinking about robustness of the system and whether I should worry about how rectangular my frame should be? I know very little practically about programming and it seems like smoothing and speeding up the calibration process is really important to making the machine more popular and usable so I really appreciate the work that you are doing towards that. I would be happy to try new calibration software and report back, just curious about what I should be thinking about and prioritizing as I finish making my frame set up. Happy to test new firmware in weird situations. Thank you for making such a cool project.

This is exactly correct. We’re just trying to get a better first guess than the random starting point that we use now. If a frame is entirely not rectangular at all the system will basically find the closest rectangular approximation and then use that as a starting point to make the final calibration.
There is still going to be 100% no requirement that the frame is rectangular.

Yay! Thank you.
