- Is Marlin feature MEATPACK worth compiling up ?

3D Printing meat. I'd like to taste it
I thought of meatpack and chuckled
-
This printer pausing problem is apparently an Octoprint problem…same file does not do it when run off the SD card…?
Further improvements can be made with MeatPack, if one is game to goof with printer firmware.

Firmware hacks/mods/tweaks?
I designed and implemented a g-code compression algorithm which nearly doubles serial throughput for OctoPrint, reducing stuttering.
- My attempt at fixing the OctoPrint stuttering (details in description)

some nice new firmware features in this release candidate

I Created A New Octoprint Plugin And Firmware Mod
The software engineer in me is always looking for optimization opportunities so I spent some time staring at the G-code. I think I've found a couple ways to compress about 3% more without firmware changes (although have not tested it). Not sure if you saw it but left an issue in your repo describing it: https://github.com/scottmudge/OctoPrint-MeatPack/issues/13

After some unexpected design changes when I chose to use motor couplers instead of imbedding the lead screws directly, my MK3S is now capable of 352mm tall prints. A few more modifications to clean up the mounts and improve rigidity will increase it a bit more.
Besides, there is absolutely no reason to overclock the 4B SoC for OctoPrint. The quality bottleneck is the Einsy board's serial port. I've been working on a project to help improve that though: https://github.com/scottmudge/OctoPrint-MeatPack . But OctoPrint is only going to use ~5-15% of the 4B's computational resources, even at its standard clock rate. Even with a webcam attached.
- I created a new OctoPrint plugin and firmware mod to automatically pack/compress g-code over the serial connection, improving data throughput by a ratio of 1.64! There is virtually no overhead on the firmware side!
