M82 no extrusion but M83 overextrusion
-
I am stuck with this M82/M83 extrusion setting.
I used prusaslicer and it export g code as M82 which caused no extrusion.
I have switched to M83 which extrudes very well but too well. It over extrudes.What should I do?

Relative extrusion mode is recommended, so go with M83. If you encounter over- or under-extrusion, you might want to calibrate your extruder’s steps per mm as described here: Calibrating Extruder E Steps per MM.

@uami The important thing is that you match whatever you use in your slicer, with your configuration. This will "tell" the Duet board how to interpret extruder moves. Relative is generally best, not least because the firmware has to internally convert absolute values to relative when doing a G1 Xn Yn En move. So if you have set your slicer to output relative extruder moves, then use M83 in your config.g. If for some reason you prefer to use absolute extrusion moves, then set the slicer accordingly and use M82 in your config.g.
