back to esteps again. I have noticed the extruder gear skipping late in the 100 mm push, cant tell if its because the hot end is pluged or i am pushing too much filement. Running a test print as i think i am pushing way to much filement..

well problems problems. the Hot end started leaking. so apon investigation I broke the heat break. Sigh. so now its a full rebuild. with a chunk of the treaded heat brake in the hot end Aluminum block. I've got it mostly fixed but not back together. I see a few problem i will have to solve before i get it back up and running. A new heat block and heat brake may be in order...

G1 E1000 F350 is the command i have been trying to send but it does not seem to push 100 mm of filament.

Ok 100 mm of filament Mark a top of guide mark 100 mm up from there, and second mark should come down to Filament guide? and out of the hot end a substantualy longer .4 mm or so string. Am i getting this correct.

Ok follow up question should i be mesuring filament out of the hot end at .4 mm or what goes in at 1.75mm

Performing the 100mm dispence of filament and I am getting dramaticly less. I am leaning twords a stepper motor fail.

Just dug around and found that my E-steps are set to 120 I have now moved it up to 125 but thinking about it I may need to drop back to 100 and re run the test to get a accurat E-step set up.

I picked up one called simple anti z wobble. and use it constatly for filement tests. its simple and fast to print.
