3D printing guides - Calibrating your extruder

Made with Layers (Thomas Sanladerer)

Why people recommend it

Shows how to test and set extruder steps per mm; people point to it when fixing over-extrusion, clicking extruders and rough first layers.

Watch for: repeat the measurement if the first pass is off

In their words
