I have got filament from certain suppliers that half way through a roll the average changes over .15mm, for best printing results the slicer has to know exactly what size filament it is slicing for.]]>https://www.soliforum.com/user/296/2013-03-30T13:43:43Zhttps://www.soliforum.com/post/18106/#p18106<![CDATA[Calibrate Extruder (how often)]]>do you need to recalibrate the extruder every time you change a roll.]]>https://www.soliforum.com/user/187/2013-03-30T13:02:37Zhttps://www.soliforum.com/post/18101/#p18101
