I will print and weigh some models tomorrow. I'm happy with the result but I'm still a little baffled as to why I would have to reduce my E steps so much ... seems like a major disconnect between what the slicer thinks I need for mm vs what I actually need when printing.
i tend to reduce my e steps by 10% ob my printers, dont know why but it does produces better prints.
Similarly, I always use an extrusion multiplier of 95%. I'm not able to provide a link right now but somebody did a lot of work and came to the conclusion that printed parts can tolerate quite a high degree of under extrusion without any adverse consequences but are very intolerant of over extrusion. My own tests tend to agree (usual caveats about slicers, settings etc).
