I've had an Ender 3 Neo for a year now, but I haven't really used it, nor do I have much knowledge. I've tried several times to calibrate it completely, following different tutorials, but I can't seem to get it right. My biggest problem is that the pieces don't fit together. How do I program it? I use Orca.

It sounds like your issue with the pieces not fitting together could be related to incorrect slicer settings rather than programming. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

  1. Check your filament diameter setting in the slicer software (Orca in your case). Make sure it matches the actual diameter of your filament. Using the wrong diameter can result in incorrect extrusion amounts.
  2. Ensure your nozzle and bed temperatures are appropriate for the filament material you are using. Different materials require different temperatures to achieve proper adhesion and layer bonding.
  3. Adjust your extrusion multiplier in the slicer software. This setting allows you to fine-tune the amount of filament being extruded. If parts are coming out slightly oversized, reducing the extrusion multiplier may help.
  4. Calibrate your E-steps to ensure that the correct amount of filament is being extruded. This involves measuring the actual extrusion length against the commanded length and adju...
