Topic: Extruder Calibration makes no sense???

scratching my head on this...
I recently download RH 95F. Since then, my calibrations are wwwaaaaayyyyyy off.
Always using Ian's video as the gospel, I've had luck.
But here's my dilemma:
   EEPROM set at 109.5
   Set extrude to 100 then extrude
   Over extrudes by 40mm
   After math ( 10,950 divided by 140= 78.214blah blah blah

This does not seem right as I can tell from previous prints I HAVE been over extruding...but not by THAT much! haha

Any suggestions??

Your overextruding can also be mitigated by the flow rate settings.

maybe post up your settings in RH for the extruder.

Did on me to, i overextrudet 35mm, noticed a small quality improvement.

You should calibrate flow rate too, and set the diameter of the fillament, if you havent alleready.

Ahhh, might be something in rh95f messing up a setting related to extrusion or flow then....

I haven't had time to get rh95f so can't be sure, but sounds like it.

Re: Extruder Calibration makes no sense???

I usually set 130 for Feed+Flow...though I have the best prints at 140 for each. I haven't seen much online as to Feedrate and Flowrate settings, so mine are entirely from empirical observation. I think Fedde and I are a short string of new RH issues....I think this is a pretty massive one though.

If ANYONE can tell me anything I am doing wrong, even with Feed+Flow, I would massively appreciate!
And thank you for the fast responses! smile
