Marlin is an optimized firmware for RepRap 3D printers based on the Arduino platform. | Many commercial 3D printers come with Marlin installed. Check with your vendor if you need source code for your specific machine.
I have loaded machine firmware V2.1.3.1b3 along with screen firmware 1.2.7 on 4 different SVO4 printers. On 2 of them they are printing flawlessly. On the other 2 machines anytime a arc/curve is printed the head seems to stutter. So on straight lines it prints as it should but when it gets to an arc head stops puts down a dot of filament, it moves a tiny bit spits a dot of filament, moves a little more then another dot until the end of the arc then goes to full speed normal printing again when it gets to straight line. This only happens on the first layer. All subsequent layers print as normal even in the curves. On one of the two printers i was able to get rid of the majority of the stuttering/dotting by dropping the initial layer speed to 10mm or less. I have reflashed firmware on both machines multiple times which has not helped. On the 2nd stuttering machine after a reflash but before recalibrating I ran a print and it ran perfectly fine in the air above the plate, but again after creating the bed mesh and calibrating everything else it went back to stuttering. Do you have any suggestions on what to try next? Could this be just a case of bad silicone lottery and the printers processing speed cannot handle the extra calibration needed for the 7x7 bed mesh? Or can the bed mesh code be optimized so it is not as taxing on the processor?

Expected behavior
I expected printer to print a smooth arc.
Actual behavior
printer stuttered while printing arc with dots of filament
Steps to Reproduce
first flash firmware
second calibrate machine and bed mesh
run a print with arcs with initial layer speed faster than 10mm

Has there been any update to this issue? Experiencing the same issue, although mine also dots on random straight lines as well. Wondering if it is just a memory issue as you mentioned.
Did you test the latest
bugfix-2.1.x
code?Yes, and the problem still exists.
