What’s the use of running the vibration test EVERY PRINT.
Because of this i cannot use my printer at night without waking the neighbours…
I was able to turn them off in the past , not anymore though.
If you’re ready to do som GCODE startup optimization, its not terribly difficult to remove these sections.
This video goes into detail and show you for the A1/A1 Mini how to remove the vibration test. Very worth a watch!
does it add the vibration code in orca slicer too? cause i’ll just switch slicers if it doesn’t…
The vibration test (also called resonance or input-shaper calibration) is used to measure the printer’s mechanical vibrations and automatically adjust motion to reduce ringing/ghosting in the print.
Some printers now run this test before every print to ensure the calibration is always accurate, as changes in temperature, toolhead weight, or mechanical setup can slightly alter the vibration profile.
On most firmware, the test is triggered by a G-Code command such as:
M593 F0
or, on Klipper-based machines:
SHAPER_CALIBRATE
If you look at your start G-Code in the slicer, you might find such a line. Removing or commenting it out will skip the test — but you may lose some print quality if your printer’s vibration profile changes over time.
If your firmware recently removed the option to disable it from the menu, the only workaround is to manually edit the start G-Code or roll back to a firmware version that still had the toggle.
On A1 (it’s the same comment block on the P1, and I believe also the X1), you can edit the machine startup gcode and comment out the block of lines with the comment “mech mode fast check”. I have this set as a seperate profile so that the machine will skip the vibration checks most of the time, and every now and then I will use the normal default profile to let it run them. Ensures the belts are not slipping, and checks for any changes in resonance in the machine.
You’ll find some other threads talking about it by searching for that phrase:
