It is a nice silcer, but I prefer Cura's interface out of all of them.

Extrusion settings can be changed in Cura.

@Pritesh oo how do you do that, also are you using the version they said to use or the official one?

@dan aylett I'm using the Makertech Edition of Cura. Go to Settings --> Configure settings visibility. Then filter for 'Flow', it'll be listed under materials, make sure it's checked. When you close you should be able to see the Flow % under the print settings.

I'm fighting with this same issue.

That's the first print I was able to successfully get off the printer.


Normally I would do a calibration cube for getting steps/mm for each axis and then do an extrusion calibration for steps/mm for the extruder.


There are a few ways to calibrate your extruder. This is one of the better ways I've found: Since you have proterface hooked up it shouldn't be too hard to follow along.


This is the method that I have most recently used:


I took a quick guess at modifying mine and went ahead and started a benchy but I think after looking at it about 1/3 of the way through that I might have to get a little more serious and actually do the calibration. I just kinda wanted to see this thing print something after fighting with it all weekend!
