When properly tuned, pressure advance reduces extruder ooze. + * Klipper supports printers with multiple micro-controllers. For + example, one micro-controller could be used to control an + extruder, while another could control the printer's heaters, while + a third controls the rest of the printer. The Klipper host + software implements clock synchronization to account for clock + drift between micro-controllers. No special code is needed to + enable multiple micro-controllers - it just requires a few extra + lines in the config file. * Klipper also implements a novel "stepper phase endstop" algorithm that can dramatically improve the accuracy of typical endstop switches.
