Prusa i3 MK2 - Linear Advance Calibration

thingiverse

Two calibration test files allow you to fine-tune Linear Advance for your Prusa i3 MK2 3D-Printer. To use Linear Advance, you'll need the "K-Factor," which varies depending on your material. The ideal factor will be between 0 and 100. For PLA, good values range from 35 to 50. The test files create a series of lines in ascending order. Both files start with a K value of 0 and then increment by 5 or 10 (depending on the file). This test only works with the latest firmware, PLA, and is specifically designed for i3 MK2(S) 3D-Printers. For me, a K-value of 40 appears to be optimal for PLA. A more detailed guide to Linear Advance and the latest firmware update for the Prusa i3 can be found on our website (available only in German): https://3druck.com/diy/praxisbericht-firmware-update-und-linear-advance-beim-prusa-i3-mk2s-4765396/ For further testing, a simple 20mm cube is included. A picture shows the difference between the cube with Linear Advance (green, K=40) and without Linear Advance (red, K=0).
