{% endhint %}

## Description

Set the max acceleration for one or more axes (in current units-per-second squared).

## Notes

* View the current setting with [`M503`](https://app.gitbook.com/docs/gcode/M503.html).
* If `EEPROM_SETTINGS` is enabled, these are saved with [`M500`](https://app.gitbook.com/docs/gcode/M500.html), loaded with [`M501`](https://app.gitbook.com/docs/gcode/M501.html), and reset with [`M502`](https://app.gitbook.com/docs/gcode/M502.html).

## Usage

`M201` `[E<accel>]` `[T<index>]` `[X<accel>]` `[Y<accel>]` `[Z<accel>]`

### Parameters

* `[E<accel>]` E axis max acceleration
* `[T<index>]` Target extruder (Requires DISTINCT\_E\_FACTORS)
* `[X<accel>]` X axis max acceleration
* `[Y<accel>]` Y axis max acceleration
* `[Z<accel>]` Z axis max acceleration

## Examples

Set max acceleration lower so it sounds like a robot:

```
M201 X50 Y50
```
