3D Printer Extruder Calibration Guide

Extruder Calibration Guide

What we're technically calibrating is the stepper motor that is attached to the extruder unit, and the measurement we're calibrating is the steps per millimeter.

Most 3D printers on the market come with Marlin Firmware as stock, which refers to the steps per mm value as "E-steps" in the settings. They're the same thing.

1. Find the current steps/mm value

You might be able to find this buried in your printer's settings menu on the LCD. Make a note of it. If it's not there, continue reading.
