{% import "macros.jinja2" as snipped %} {{ snipped.quote("Before starting I strongly recommend reading some documentation about tunning teachingtechyt.github.io","", "text-warning") }} The stepper motors divides a full rotation in a number of equal steps. E-Steps tuning is a process of setting the exact number of steps need it for pushing a fix amount of filament for feeding the hot-end.
{{ snipped.subSection("E-Steps") }} You will have to:
  • Mark a specific length of filament at the extruder motor entrance;
  • Set the hot-end on a printing temperature in E-Steps tab;
  • Set the extrusion length and speed;
  • Press "Start extrusion";
  • When extrusion finished, check the remaining length between the extruder and the filament mark location;
  • Refresh the current values from EEPROM;
  • Feed data collected in E-Steps tab and save the results in EEPROM;
  • {{ snipped.subSection("X-Y-Z Steps") }} You will have to:
  • Print a test cube with a known size on all three axes X,Y,X;
  • Refresh the current values from EEPROM;
  • Feed data collected in E-Steps tab and save the results in EEPROM;
  • {{ snipped.subSection("PID Autotune") }} You will have to:
  • Refresh the current values from EEPROM;
  • Set the hot-end index which you want to tune;
  • Set the usual temperature used in your prints for that specific hot-end;
  • Set the usual fan speed used in your prints;
  • Monitor temperature tab, when it starts to cool down save the results in EEPROM;
  • For tuning heated bed the index is already set on -1;
