<![CDATA[SoliForum - 3D Printing Community — Need Help Calibrating Extruder]]> 2014-02-08T07:12:45Z PunBB https://www.soliforum.com/topic/5128/need-help-calibrating-extruder/ <![CDATA[Re: Need Help Calibrating Extruder]]> Adrian, I ended up putting it in the start code section of the g code tab. (see pic).

It took me a couple of tries to realize that I had entered the steps per unit in brackets, and the extruder wouldn't feed any filament.

I removed them and it extruded as it should have and there was a noticeable difference in the print.

I was able to finish calibrating my extruder (SD3) as per the solidoodle guides/wiki.

All good, thanks!

I've been reading as much as I can on workarounds but I am not sure where to enter a M92 command.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers.

You need to use the manual g-code commands to update and then save eeprom
http://reprap.org/wiki/G-code#M92:_Set_ … s_per_unit
http://reprap.org/wiki/G-code#M203_-_Se … m_feedrate

To see current EEPROM; use M501 . To save changes permanently to eeprom set via M92/M203 ; use M500 .

Another thing ,if you are using Repetier host, after you watch the video and do the math, open RH.You can  enter the results  under config/firmware eeprom configuration, no need to update the firmware as video shows. This is from a later post by IAN

Can anyone point me in the right direction for calibration?
