yes, that is a good place to start.
you will also want to calibrate for the filament being used if you have not done that. every spool of filament will be a little different, even 2 spools of the same brand & color will vary.
For help with that take a read through this:
Part 1: http://northwoods3d.weebly.com/blog/fil … ion-part-1 (covers what is in that video as well as the beginnings of filament calibration - getting an average filament diameter)
Part 2: http://northwoods3d.weebly.com/blog/-fl … coming-out

you may also need to adjust the vref for the extruder motor (voltage setting) - E3D hotends are more sensitive to over-voltage than the stock hotends are, and 250C is a little on the high side. I typically run ABS at about 235C (+/- a couple degrees) on my v6s

Is this a good reference for calibrating?

Just upgraded by sd2 to an e3d v6 hotend. everything seems fine. The problem I have is that the filament when extruded comes out very rough, inturn my walls look rough. WIth the original extruder the filament extruded was always very smooth. I've the same result using hatchbox and bumat elite filaments. I'm printing around 250. Any thoughts? This happens both in an actual print as well as well when doing a simple extrusion of filament.

Please help.
