Linear Advance KFactor Tower #41

Open eprouty opened 1 year ago

eprouty commented 1 year ago

Loving this plugin for easily producing calibration towers. One suggestion is to add support for a kfactor tower.

Similar to the temperature tower in shape, but increasing the linear advance kfactor from 0-2 at 0.2 increments. Similar to how the Marlin test pattern operates (https://marlinfw.org/tools/lin_advance/k-factor.html). There is also a document on doing this using the Calibration Shapes plugin: https://github.com/5axes/Calibration-Shapes/wiki/Linear-Pressure-Advance-Tower

This would have a requirement on the Linear Advance Settings extension in Cura though so I'm not sure if that's a deal breaker or not. https://marketplace.ultimaker.com/app/cura/plugins/fieldofview/LinearAdvanceSettingPlugin

@kartchnb have you started with this? I might take a look, but no promises before PR :D

@eprouty would you think OrcaSlicer style pentagonal tower (with values) could be fine? It might be easier to generate than Ellis pattern.
