Wow after 2 years of dealing with the headache of getting this printer right and even putting it down for a year this video just helped me out tremendously. Thanks man 🙏
This is by far the simplest and most effective tutorial I’ve come across yet for calibrating e-steps. I’ll have to pick up a calliper soon, as I only had a metric ruler to try this with. Endless thanks for your clear instructions!
from the bottom of my heart thank you. I have been struggling to get this printer to work for two years now, even switching out the buildplate twice as well as swapping the drive motor and switching to a dual drive gear, which probably only execerbated the issue of a lack of calibration in the first place. For the first time in two years the printer has put out a well made first layer as well as actually printed without cracks between layers.
wow, this way is SOOOO much easier. for the last 6 years ive been doing the method of marking the filament before the extruder and half of the time youd start out with it sucking more than the line in which would require you to lower the value, mark again, and run it again. thank you for this!!!!
This was such a huge help, I've watched it a few times. I goofed and FORGOT to SAVE it when I was done. Once I adjusted and then saved it was a huge difference, thank you and your assistant!
Thank you SOOOOO much! I got a new silent board for my ender 3 pro and it kept over extruding so I checked the e-steps and it was at OVER 400mm! Using your video helped me get it down to 102.8mm!
This was an extremely informative and step by step video. Other vids had the same information, but didn't really explain as quickly with the needed detail. Great to have your kid in the mix too. Don't forget to save the setting at the end under store settings. Thanks!!
Thank you for this helpful tutorial👍 I totally forgot to re-calibrate the e-steps for my Ender-3 after switching to a 32bit motherboard. Took some time for me to figure out where the underextrusion problems came from, but now all the problems are solved. And it was so super easy to set the new e-steps with the 4.2.7 board, it's unbelievable.
Seriously, best video on this, so easy and uncomplicated, and your daughter adds some humanity to the usual boring technical explanations. I fixed my ESteps after replacing the extruder and am getting great prints again! Thnak you!!
I just got a new extruder for my printer and was wondering why it was printing so poorly. After a couple google searches I ended up here and it turns out my e steps needed to go from 93 all the way to 414.7. Quite the change, definitely explains the under extrusion with the new extruder! Thanks so much for this video it was concise and easy enough for us 3d printing noobs to understand.
First time e-stepper here, I’ve never seen those parts of the menu! Great tutorial, glad I don’t have to hook up a computer, you made it look easy, thank you
Appreciate the video. I am just getting into 3D printing and have much to learn. I can tell a huge difference in just getting this extruder calibrated. Thanks again.
Helped me out doing mine. Great video and straight to the point. A lot less stringy on my Ender 3 Neo 3D. Steps is under a different menu but it's there :) +1
Someone down below noted this but it bears repeating, as I was aware of the "SAVE" setting but nevertheless totally forgot you need to SAVE your new setting before shutting down or (I believe) it reverts to the prior setting you had before calibrating. GREAT VIDEO BTW !
I have this off brand SUNLU S8 and this worked well. My number went from 96 to 139. Huge change, but I also upgraded my extruder to an ender 3 dual extruder with steel gears, so I think that has something to do with the big jump. No broken parts or anything. I was having to print at 25% speed just to get the plastic to come out fast enough. Hope this helps someone as clueless as me!
Thank you so so so so so so much. I have no idea why all the other videos had to be so complicated, i have been so overwhelmed with them. Tried doing the pronterface and had so much anxiety just trying to download it for me to now be stuck because i need to orderer a newer cable. Started looking into octoprint which then had me having to buy the raspberry pie thing and that's over my head. i just want to print a whole slew of flexi octopi without the small failure in the body/leg joint. thank you!
Excellent video, and by far a lot quicker than sending GCode. Also helps to disconnect the bowden tube and elimate the nozzle from the calibration. Thank you!
🤘🤘new printer here, (5 mo) was coasting on the rare occurrence of receiving a printer that performed well out of the box until it didn’t. This saved me. Followed.
Thanks for the video! We've gotten a few Ender 3 V2s and I feel like some calibrations are off when 1 works perfectly and the other 3 do not. This ought to prove useful. I like not having to connect to a PC!
this helped me out so much!!! i did it twice and on the second one it was right at 100!! thank you! ive been under extrusion now it should be perfect!!!!
Never bothered with it as my ender 3 was working pretty well out of the box. Recently was noticing issues with walls and layer adhesion. Changed to a dual gear metal extruder and did the above, it was extruding 84 instead of 100! Dual gear feels too stiff even at loosest... Thanks for the quick and easy tutorial!
Something is clearly wrong with my Creality cr 10s5's extruder motor, I did the test and 4cm came out when I asked for 10cm . UGHHHHHH I had to jack up my steps from 93 to 233. I think the motor is F'd so I'm ordering a new one for all of $10 and some minor upgrades for a total of $30 bucks off Amz. Still thinking of ditching this unit, I've had it for over a year and it's never been perfect, thinking of changing to a Prusa. Hey thank you for a good and simple video, it really helped me and I like not having to plug my computer into the thing, I watched that video, I think was a little silly.
Thank you for this vid bud. This got mine working perfect. But every time I turned my printer off it would go back to factory setting. 🤷🏼♂️ so I had to alter in the g-code in cura. But this did help me figure out what my printer was not doing. I tested it at 100mms and it was only putting out 65.5mms way off. I’m able to print things again yaaaaa🫶🏼👍🏼😁 thank you.
thankyou! This is so easy! The amount of times they are like, oh measure out 100mm... from where? or they have direct drive, I don't where do I measure from?? So thank you for explaining it fully and where to measure from.
Just upgraded my ender 3 with a silent board and have been noticing some underextrusion so after my current print finishes I'm gonna calibrate it I hope this fixes it
I've done this twice and it's worked but I'm having to do it a 3rd time and it's not working. Old value 424.9 measurement is 30.5. Comes to like 1393.1 I put that in and it's even worse. Edit: I remembered you extruded 100mm of filament I extruded 10 I move the decimal place and what do ya know that's a more reasonable value.
@@ackliph I can't seem to remove the PTFE tube from the extruder even if I try to push it down on it won't come out. Would it be okay if I measured it from where the gold part was being held?.
@@jfksuperman2062 over time, mine became stuck. I had to rip it out to convert to Capricorn tube. You can really measure it from anywhere after the gear that pushes it. So if you need to unscrew the tubing holder, go for it.
I follow the steps to follow, but when I enter 100mm, the extruder does not work, it does not work with any measurement that I tell it. What is happening?
Turning your own filming session into a learning experience for your kid was awesome. What a guy
Not really all the noise in the back made it hard to follow at the end
100000% loved this too! I’m not a kids person but love seeing when they are involved in learning.
I thought that was sweet! Way to involve them, they love it 😊
@Opinionatedbastard you are a opinionated bastard 😂😂😂
I love how you do this compared to some of the others. It’s easier to understand. I subscribed to you just because of that. Thank you
ditto
9 months ago and still by far the fastest explained and easy to follow instructions for estep calibration on the web

I just got an Ender 3 pro and was having some serious under extrusion issues. I followed this video and my prints got soooo much better. Thank you!
Thanks so much for this! My prints would fail more than 75% of the time but now they almost all print perfectly.
Thank you. And kudos to you for your patience and kindness to the little ones.
This is dope! I didn’t want to turn my laptop on, find a cable, setup pronter face and remember calculations! Thank you!
First time e-stepper here, I’ve never seen those parts of the menu! Great tutorial, glad I don’t have to hook up a computer, you made it look easy, thank you
Others explain much complicated but this guy explain simple and very easy to follow and to understand, thank you T-Dub
Mine was at 65mm (upgraded metal extruder) 🤦🏼♂️ had to adjust to 143.8 thanks for this video, printing alot better!!
I bet! Glad it worked!
Wow thats so much easier than what some other people are doing ! This is great. Thanks !
I am keen to this types of videos where they go straight to the point. Thanks for the video!
Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou. Finally someone who I could understand and instantly fix my problem

thanks a bunch i love your steps since it seems more accurate without the melted filament!
You have no idea how appreciative I am! You guys are awesome!!!!
Dude! Very nice! Thank you!! And I’m so glad your child got to help as well!

i like how you take out the tube I didnt want to waste filament doing this. Great video !

Very impessive parenting skills, and an awesome instruction video for ender 3 pro e-steps. Thank You.
Ok, i have always had an issue with crappy prints until today that is thanks a ton! This video was a life saver! :)
Wholesome video with the info I needed 10/10 would recommend
Excellent video, and by far a lot quicker than sending GCode. Also helps to disconnect the bowden tube and elimate the nozzle from the calibration. Thank you!
Great video, thanks for the step by step... hopefully you remembered to store your settings after entering the new value!!
Dude, thanks for this video. This is much easier and accurate compared to measuring how much goes into it lmao.

i was suprised to find mine only 1mm out first time adjusting Esteps. thanks forr the video
Thanks for posting this. After fighting with my ender 3 forever the under extrusion issues are fixed. Great video thanks again.
Found your method more accurate compared to the mark in the filament at 100mm. Big thumbs up 👍
This is the far superior way to do this, thank you
This is my go to video for esteps. Excellent.
Fantastic instructions, you made it very easy to understand
This was way easier then using a program. Thanks for the easy tutorial.
this helped me out so much!!! i did it twice and on the second one it was right at 100!! thank you! ive been under extrusion now it should be perfect!!!!
Thanks. This is exactly what I needed. Clear and concise.
Solid bro!! Thanks. Thought I was gonna lose my mind.

This is a great video that made me smile, sadly I figured out that you can't do this on just a normal ender 3 lol.
Started with 97.4mm, and am now on 100mm, perfect! Thanks

My ender 3 pro had wrong E steps settings and this video helped me to fix it.
thanks for not making it too complicated. Im glad i didnt need a phd in mathematical fusion of geometry pi x 45=Q
easy and simple .. just got a new subscriber
Thanks for the video, it helped a lot . I keep coming back to it

Great video! Easy to follow and to the point.
Great video! I love how you told your kid you don't want them to go too far but you did anyway hahahaha
Helps yes. And bonus points for how graceful you were with your kiddo. I probably would have flipped out and cut the video. 🙂
Thankyou so much for explaining this so easy. 😊
When you said "of course your value is different" I was confused for a second.
I had mine come out at exactly 96,6mm too. 😅
Lol awesome!
You REALLY helped me! Thanks! It was WAYYY off!
My extrusion was 58mm under, this fixed a lot of mystery problems all at once
Thank you so much strugling 2 days after change e axis cable. Was given only 25mm and prints like shi..t thans bro😊
Thanks again Sir for the excellent tutorial 👍
Genius! This is so much easier 👍🏻
Helped me so much just now, thank you!
thankyou! This is so easy! The amount of times they are like, oh measure out 100mm... from where? or they have direct drive, I don't where do I measure from?? So thank you for explaining it fully and where to measure from.
Thank you very much, this has been very helpful.
Lol I was using the same calipers and was worried that they wouldn't be fancy enough.
dude thanks! made this much easier.
You made it so easy! Thanks!
Thank you so much!!! Awesome video!!!
perfect .. great explanation
Thanks this tutorial was simple and effective!
thats simple and just awsome thanks for that!!
Lol was lazy and just copied your value and it ended up helping out alot thanks
haha. I'm not above some trial and error myself!
This did help me a lot. Thank you.
The printer doesnt remeber it when i restart it it is back at 93 what i can do about it?
Read description.
@@ackliph ok thanks
Thank you for making this really easy.
Thats weird, my ender 3 was also extruding 96.6mm. Thanks for the video!
Outstanding! Thank you.
this helped me so much thank you
Just upgraded my ender 3 with a silent board and have been noticing some underextrusion so after my current print finishes I'm gonna calibrate it I hope this fixes it
Good news: it fixed it

Nt have a knob (m

@@ackliph when I'm eventually gonna could you give me tips on how to remove it without destroying it too much.
@@jfksuperman2062 you can just heat up the nozzle and pull the filament by hand.
Very informative video. My calculations were different. My value, using your example was 93.3... my bad, the caliper measurement was upside down ;^)
I follow the steps to follow, but when I enter 100mm, the extruder does not work, it does not work with any measurement that I tell it. What is happening?
Mine won't when I follow your instructions but moves when I print. Any ideas?
