 It leads to less over-deposition at corners, especially at flat angles.
 
 *Arc support:*
 
 Slic3r can find curves that, although broken into segments, were ment to describe an arc.
 Marlin is able to print those arcs. The advantage is the firmware can choose the resolution,

 If your hardware supports it, you can build yourself a LCD-CardReader+Click+encoder combination. It will enable you to realtime tune temperatures,
