Description
Wanted to add an option to increase facets in order to torture test print quality.
This is usually used to stress your USB/Serial connection. The more facets you add, the smoother the outside will get but the stress on the communication will increase.
The process would be to make the facets something quite high (256 to 1000+) then slice it and print one from your SD card and one via USB, Octoprint, etc... Then compare the print quality.
If your print quality through USB is poor, try tweaking your firmware settings (setting baudrate and block_buffer_size as large as supported will help a lot):
Configuration.h
#define BAUDRATE 250000
Configuration_adv.h
#if ENABLED(SDSUPPORT)
#define BLOCK_BUFFER_SIZE 64 // SD,LCD,Buttons take more memory, block buffer needs to be smaller
#else
#define BLOCK_BUFFER_SIZE 64 // maximize block buffer
#endif
#define MAX_CMD_SIZE 96
#define BUFSIZE 32
#define DEFAULT_MINSEGMENTTIME 50000
