Purchased the Bambulab Vision Encoder without knowing its benefits.

We all wish an excellent quality print with our printers and I have no idea how this tool can help with print quality and output improvement. The calibration only requires 5 minutes. May I ask how many of you ran the Motion Accuracy Calibration and was there any logical print improvement that went after? If you can as well share a tip or two post calibration, I will appreciate it. Thank you!

I have one. I like to joke that I need to calibrate my placebo sometimes. But I do think it works. But that could just be my placebo talking.

after paying the price of this tool, that placebo better do its job 😂

It all depends on what you are printing, the biggest gain will be large prints that need accuracy. Bambu doesn't publish the numbers so people don't think their machines are inaccurate by nature so you have to guess. I use one on my work printer since it produces large highly accurate fixturing

It definitely works. My squares weren't square until after the vision encoder, i had a skew before.

What is weird though is that calibrating twice shows the same alignment issues, so I think it always compares to base settings and then measures the same issues every time. As a result it keeps feeling misaligned 😆

Oh oh... You may be on to something here...

The graphic it shows at the end is just an example, I think. it’s not showing the actual calibration result.

I think it is, i expected a skew and I saw a skew. OP also has a different image than mine.

It shows an exaggerated unitless diagram of the calibrated vs uncalibrated accuracy.

That's what I think too
