extruder calibrate

roth

Hello
I have a Tevo and would like to adjust the extruder. Where can I find the opportunity to hire?

I can not find it in the config.

@roth I am not sure if I understand what exactly you ask for so I answer both of the possibilities I see.

If you mean the command that sets the steps/mm for your extruder it is M92 Ennn which is set to 403 steps/mm in your config.g
If you mean how to calibrate the value in the first place:
2.1) Heat your hotend to regular temperature for your filament
2.2) Measure 150mm from the top of your extruder along the filament an mark this position
2.3) Extrude 100mm of filament at 1mm/s
2.4) Measure how far the mark is now away from the top of your extruder
2.5) From this difference recalculate your steps/mm (up to 3 decimal places if you like) and enter them in your config.g
2.6) Optional: repeat until no more changes to the value occur

@wilriker That's a rough, get-you-in-the-ballpark type of "calibration". If you want to really get it calibrated (nonlinearities related to speed/acceleration notwithstanding), you need to set the steps per mm based on printed line width. I suggest the procedure here: https://reprap.org/wiki/Triffid_Hunter's_Calibration_Guide

When you make test prints, use the thinnest layers you're ever likely to print. Printing thicker layers usually works fine after calibrating thin. If you calibrate for thick layers than try to print thin layers, the result is often overextrusion.

Note that real calibration requires that the firmware knows the amount of filament going in, which requires an accurate measure of filament diameter, as well as coming out of the extruder. You can get an accurate measure of the filament diameter by measuring in 20-30 places, reorienting the caliper as you go, and calculate the average value from the measurements.

For consistent print results you can either use the extrusion multiplier or accurate filament diameter. If you want to use extrusion multiplier, you have to make a test print or two with every spool of filament, then calculate the extrusion multiplier to get the correct line width from the extruder. Mark the extrusion multiplier for that spool on the spool so you can use it the next time you slice (or set at run time) to print from that spool.

If you use accurate filament diameter, measure the filament in 20-30 places and calculate an average value for the diameter. Mark that value on the spool and use it when you slice for that spool, or use it at run time if you use volumetric extrusion.

Either way gets consistent prints from one spool to another, and if you're careful, gets you accurate prints that can mate with printed and unprinted parts.

Ok thank you

Hello,

The temperature change to a lot of influence on steps/mm?
