-* Configuring pressure advance results in extra extruder movement
- during move acceleration and deceleration. That extra movement is
- not further constrained by any other other configuration parameter.
- The pressure advance settings only impact extruder movement; they do
- not alter toolhead XYZ movement or look-ahead calculations. A change
- in pressure advance will not change the path or timing of the
- toolhead nor will it change the overall printing time.
+* The pressure advance system does not change the timing or path of
+ the toolhead. A print with pressure advance enabled will take the
+ same amount of time as a print without pressure advance. Pressure
+ advance also does not change the total amount of filament extruded
+ during a print. Pressure advance results in extra extruder movement
+ during move acceleration and deceleration. A very high pressure
+ advance setting will result in a very large amount of extruder
+ movement during acceleration and deceleration, and no configuration
+ setting places a limit on the amount of that movement.
