+### Stepper motor acceleration limits ###
+
+With delta kinematics it is possible for a move that is accelerating
+in cartesian space to require an acceleration on a particular stepper
+motor greater than the move's acceleration. This can occur when a
+stepper arm is more horizontal than vertical and the line of movement
+is near that stepper's tower.
+
+Klipper does enforce a maximum ceiling on stepper acceleration that is
+three times the maximum acceleration of a move in cartesian
+space. (Similarly, the maximum velocity of the stepper is limited to
+three times the maximum move velocity.) In order to enforce this
+limit, moves at the extreme edge of the build envelope (where a
+stepper arm may be nearly horizontal) will have a lower maximum
+acceleration and velocity.
