Backlash Compensation Backlash compensation is a feature in 3D printer firmware or slicer software that corrects the effects of backlash in mechanical systems. Backlash occurs when loose belts, gears, or screws cause slight delays or inaccuracies in movement. Compensation adjusts motor commands to account for this slack, ensuring precise positioning and consistent prints. Properly calibrated backlash compensation improves dimensional accuracy, especially for intricate models or high-speed printing. |
