Have you heard of Klipper? If you're running that it's very easy to set up towers to find your max print speed and acceleration. It's a bit of a rabbit hole so lemme know if you've got any questions
I have most definitely heard of it.
Do I know what it is, how it works, what it does? No.
I know you can run it through a raspberry pi, which is useful because I am already using one for octoprint. If it isn't crazy difficult to setup than I would definitely be willing to try it out!
It took a bit to get used to because the mindset is different but once it’s going it’s great.
I love that I can make config changes easily without having to compile firmware.
If you ever decide to take the plunge feel free to reach out since I did it with my ender 3v2 years ago. Not that it looks anything like the stock anymore.
Looks like somebody else already has the config working for it and a step by step guide for setting it up on your machine

One thing to note is you don’t have access to the display anymore since the display on the ender 3 is proprietary. You use a web panel (I often use my phone for this with mainsail as my ui of choice)
That being said there are other displays that can work with it but I seldom use my display for anything anymore.
Holy cow, thanks for the link! I will definitely try it out once I am finished with my next couple of projects.
I already don't use the display because OctoPI though the OctoApp is way more convenient, so no loss there lol
