      So I tuned my Steps/mm with my extruder but when it goes to print it begins to randomly over extrude. This happens during the print of the skirt around a test cube. Why would it be doing this?

        Could be a number of reasons but the usual culprit is that the slicer is set to use absolute extrusion whilst the duet expects relative extrusion commands.

        Edit - Is it all the way though or just at the start?

          All the way through, but you are correct it was the slicer. Could I fix this in the slicer?
