Effects on XYZ:
* no smoothing: sharp corners, but noises and ringing
* smoothing: rounded corners, no noises and ringing
* smoothing if overdone: rounded corners, infill may not reach all corners, no noises and ringing

Probably needs three bullet points here, because a little bit of smoothing probably rounds corners, even if it is hard to see. Maybe something like this…

Smoothing Effects on XYZ

  • No smoothing: Sharp corners, loud vibrations, ringing artifacts
  • Moderate smoothing: Less sharp corners, reduced audible vibrations and ringing
  • Excess smoothing: Rounded corners, poor infill-wall overlap, minimal vibrations and ringing


Effects on E:
* no smoothing: extruder skips when using linear advance
* smoothing: peaks produced by linear advance are reduced, the extruder doesn't skip and quality improves.
