I'm very intrigued as to how well this works. Although I cannot specify the details, these look like they smooth out the current to the stepper in a similar way a bridge rectifier does? If it smooths out the current, that should be directly visible on the prints. My intuition says this concept should work, the devil is in the product though. Please post before and after photos, for the good of all 3d printing communities.

Pretty low price for the amount of circuits you get. I'm interesting...

I'll order these after a week or two, than we'll see. Hope Ralf's order will arrive soon, so we can see the result.

Hello y’all, got the smootheners last week, they seem to work. I had not much time this week so I’ve just made one print with the transparent pla wich is visual a bit difficult. It seems to me that most of the curved artifacts are gone but there is a increase of vertical lines. I will let you know how it works on other parts.  |

I think the best way to test these is to find a vase with both straight and curved sides, and print it once without the modules and once with, then full potato vision close up pictures to compare the artifacts. I'd also recommend using a sharpie to mark the print in the same spot on both before removing from the build plate. This orientation mark would be great reference point to assure you are comparing the exact same points in the prints. The straight and curved sections of the vase will give a good variety of test conditions, vases are easy large fast prints that do not use a lot of filament, and comparing the original to the one with the module will help isolate variables like possible loose belts, acceleration and jerk values, print temp and speed, etc.
Are you willing to sacrifice some of your time and filament, for science?

I have already designed a test part to make a comparison. Results maybe at the weekend.....  |

Hi there, a short update on the smoothener things, they are definitely improving the print. Those spiral-like artifacts get reduced. Unfortunately i have noticed that those little smoothener boards get quite hot, wich i‘m a bit concerned about. Since my Anet A8 almost caught fire i am very doubtful with chinese electronics.... I am not very good in electronics, maybe some of you guys could rate the issue with the heat in those kind of circuits.  Of course same settings, pla, temp 210, vase mode, speed 50 mm/sec |

I have installed a UPS with power conditioning, a line inverter UPS is what you are looking for, cleaning up the RF and EM interference that is part of modern electricity supplies helps not just the quality of prints, but also the life of your electronics. Anyone who has worked with audio will know the problems caused by dirty power, all good studios have serious power conditioning going on. But for a lot less than a fistful of dollars you can achieve the same, an alternative to a UPS is to find a power strip that has EM and RF protection, the secret is getting rid of noise in the electricity supply. I have just printed a little thing with PLA at 195°C bed at 45°C, 0.2 resolution, it is a desktop insert filament cleaner, I am happy with the results, so here it is.  It seems that, these devices are cleaning up the current but just to a specific area. |
