Setup Input Shaping with a KUSBA v2
My Input Shaping video has garnered a ton of views, and for good reason, automatically being able to calibrate these values is AMAZING! This video goes over the setup and process of Input Shaping using the Triangle Labs accelerometer, but I also mention another USB based device, the KUSBA. In this article I go over the steps to flash and configure that device (as well as some general input shaping information). After setup refer to the YouTube video for the calibration process.

Not only will this help save you time but it is a huge boon to those users who are suffering from physical (or other) impediments that make it hard to perform the standard method of bed leveling.
