nitrogen_widget:
Am happy to say after a few days of printing my directdrive setup is working great and i've doubled my print speed.
nothing crazy.
about the same speed as my Vyper.
still haven't configured pressure advance or input shaping and not sure if i will bother.

next up is the LK5 pro. i picked up a direct drive backplate for that. since it's a bigger print bed i will probably try input shaping.

Both those things make a huge difference and not just in speed.
Getting pressure advance right makes the sides print look smoother and eliminates bulging at the corner.
Input shaper gets rid of artifacts that may be worse at higher speeds, but the improvement will probably still be visible at your current speeds.
(Or you can print much faster and end up with the same quality you have now.)

Initial setup for input shaping is a bit of a PITA, but neither is that difficult once you get into them.
Pressure advance can vary by filament, but in my experience it doesn't vary all that much if sticking to the same type of filament (ie ABS). I only change it when running bigger nozzles or weird filament types. If you are constantly changing filaments and nozzle sizes, then I can see where it would be a hassle. You can have the slicer set it as part of the filament profile, but if using the same profiles on a bunch of different printers that could be an issue.

I couldn't take the Voron hype anymore and ordered a refurbed SV08. May God have mercy on my soul.

ok you convinced me.
even though i'm only printing at 100-120mm/s on this printer.
any faster and it shakes like hell.
