MK4Duo 1 - Repetier 0
Roland knows well that I've been an admired of Repetier firmware and server for a long time,
but lately I had big problems with a Cartesian similar to the Creality CR-10,
called "Alfawise U10".
This printer come with "Ramps Plus" 8 bit board and an old version of Marlin installed.
I configured Repetier V1.0.2 DEV and I made many prints tests, unfortunately the RepRap full graphics display installed in the box I noticed that significantly decreases the print quality, excluding it I've better results.
I recently tried "MK4Duo V4.3.6", which is a Marlin aligned to version 2, which will be released soon.
The differences in print quality are visibly tangible, MK4Duo even having enabled the same display does not have a processor occupation such as to deprecate the print quality.
There's two new features in the new Marlin, called "Junction Deviation" and "Bézier Jerk Control", that offer better print immediately.
I ask Roland to review the "display full graphics" issue, because the problem is present in Repetier, and it doesn't affect only the Delta configurations, also the others.
Soon here I publish some test prints, made with the same g-code.

The problem is also evident only by changing the printing speed from a host, for example from Repetier Server.
The command with Repetier is taken a few seconds later, with MK4Duo almost immediate.
I hope Roland can cover up where is the problem.
I used Repetier Firmware DEV V1.0.2 for all my tests.
For deltas we recommend 32 bit processors even if it would work in 8 bit. The extra speed just gives so much more possibilities and deltas can really profit from it.
There's beta of this version 2?
A date of the first release?
