increase the motor torque and slow down the cutting action in Klipper

Hi Bill

about this :

"Notice the cool "hack" used to increase the motor torque and slow down the cutting action... and then also notice the homing to reset it afterwards."

i would love to have that Section for Klipper ! is that possible ?

can you share please ?

I've found it every bit as effective to raise the current to the stepper rather than decrease the steps. Also, this doesn't require homing to reset it.

This is the code snippit that does the trick:

M906 X1060 ; Boost Stepper Current

; cut off filament tip
G0 X35 F5000 ; Cut the filament quickly
G0 X-35 F5000 ; Move X back to position

M906 X580 ; Restore Stepper Current

Note that the control board has to support current change. Older Creality boards don't.
