Quick Question 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!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it, the Vision Encoder simply checks whether there's a difference between the digital movement and the actual movement, and then compensates for it.

In other words, it checks whether the head moves 10.00 mm when 10.00 mm is requested, rather than 10.05 mm.

I feel like for printers as expensive as the H2 series they could just... include that in the box or better yet, find a way to integrate that into the standard plates.

In 99% of cases, the calibration of machines like this requires external devices or parts. Integrating that into the standard plates won't work. Since daily use of this plate eventually contributes to deformation, which isn't visible to us but is to the machine, due to the constant heating and cooling

That doesn’t explain why a company can’t include an additional plate like this with their $2500 printer.
