Calibrating Extruder

in First Print

I am still new to 3d printers so this might not need to be addressed in the Build Guides but i was unaware of performing an Extruder Calibration before printing my first print on the Proforge. My prints had issues with over extruding (I was unaware of the signs and spent many hours on youtube trying to fix the issue). Here is the guide i followed to correct my over extrusion.

I was extruding about 112 with default settings.



New Steps/mm = (Old/Current steps/mm) x [100 / (measured distance filament traveled)]


This Equation worked well for me. The guide i posted had an interesting explanation and made me get lost in understanding what numbers went where.

Same here, about 10% over extrusion. Was set in Marlin at 98, now set to 88.29. Looks like the setting is applied to both extruders.
