Extruder: 0.4mm or 400 micron
(Warning: When buying metal extruders. If there is no teflon tube inside, it will not work with PLA. It blocks when hot)

• Layer height: never go over 80% of the extruder hardware value.

In pronteface..py:

M501

to get the values from the firmware
Read

M92 E###

Then extrude 10cm (using pronterface) and measure the actual amount of filament extruded.

(M92 E###) * ( 10cm / measured) = new value for M92

Enter

M92 E###

with the new value.

M500

to save.

• filament diameter : measure it from the actual filament used (do multiple measures and average it)
• filament extrusion multiplier: to lower (<1) or raise (>1) the amount of filament extruded

Use these values to play with the layers' heights for parts of the model (perimeter, fill,…)
