What is Arc Welder? #
Arc Welder is a plugin for Octoprint that takes your standard Gcode files and makes them smaller by combining multiple, small segments on curves of a print to use the firmware to process the curve. This results in smoother prints and smaller files. This also helps with alleviating the bottleneck of the serial buffer on machines when printing over USB
Default Plugin Behavior #
By default, Arc welder will automatically weld new GCode files to make prints smoother and then delete the source file.
