<![CDATA[SoliForum - 3D Printing Community — Extruder Calibration on Solidoodle 4?]]> 2014-09-25T05:41:59Z PunBB https://www.soliforum.com/topic/7802/extruder-calibration-on-solidoodle-4/ <![CDATA[Re: Extruder Calibration on Solidoodle 4?]]> Refer to Ian Johnson's blog, it's pretty much the reference for this stuff:

In short, you don't need to update firmware! In Repetier Host, go to "Config" --> "Firmware EEPROM Configuration" and edit the steps-per-mm value there.

The basic process is:
* Make sure when you ask the printer to feed 100mm of filament, it feeds 100mm of filament (by calibrating the steps-per-mm setting)
* Make sure when you ask the printer to create a wall 0.48mm thick it creates a wall that is actually 0.48mm thick (by adjusting the extrusion multiplier for that filament type - this value may vary between brands and colours of filaments).

This stuff is a little bit scary (don't want to damage anything) - do I need to go through this?
