To calibrate E Steps (extruder steps/mm), you need to follow these steps:

  1. Measure the filament diameter accurately at several points and calculate the average.
  2. Make sure your printer is preheated and ready to extrude.
  3. Mark a point on the filament where it enters the extruder.
  4. Send a command to extrude a specific length of filament, for example, 100mm.
  5. Measure the distance between the mark and the current extruder location.
  6. Calculate the new E Steps value using the formula: (current steps/mm) x (expected length / measured length).

For example, if you expected the filament to extrude 100mm but it only extruded 98mm, and your current E Steps value is 95 steps/mm, the calculation would be: 95 x (100 / 98) = 97.04 steps/mm.

  1. Update the E Steps value in your printer firmware or slicer software.

Remember to repeat the process a couple of times to ensure accuracy. After recalibration, your printer should extrude the expected amount of filament, leading to better resu...
