How To Calibrate E Steps

- Continuing our tour of the Refactored Community Firmware UI, we turn to the Calibrate Menu, and How to Calibrate ESteps.
CF6.1 includes a dedicated function for this purpose, which is designed to calculate the esteps for you, assuming that you understand what is to be done. This video answers the question of what it is that the function assumes you know you should do. It also shows you an alternative way to use the function that some of us may find easier and more accurate.
Finally, the tutorial demonstrates one feature of this tool that may confuse so:56me users and how to work around it.

this was so helpful!!!!!!! thank you so much for this walk thru.👍
You are so welcome!
When you push the filament against the "rail" of the caliper, you are not pushing it against the surface intended for measuring. That surface has a gap, so the piece you are measuring is actually longer than what you are reading on the display. Look at it when you close the calipers. When it is at zero, there is a gap there. Your measurement is off by that much.Probably more than a millimeter, but depends on the caliper.
It has taken me a while to understand this comment, but yes of course you are right. That is one of the troubles with "ad-libbing" instead of sticking to a script, when recording these videos.
Thanks for pointing that out!
Is the calibration tool included in the community firmware?
Yes.
Hi, I recently installed this firmware and the E-STEPS calibration does not work, I press RUN EXTRUSION and it skips to the next screen without extruding any filament. 😩
Can you post picture of the screen before and after pressing RUN EXTRUSION?
I do not know of any bug like that, so if you have found one, it will help to know as much as possible about the configuration of your system. You may want to move this discussion to the Discord, if the situation persists.
you do know that the surface that you are using on your caliper is not a measuring surface and is a clearance area and your cut length ends up being longer than 100mm. so essentially you are using the measuring tool incorrectly
Sorry, no I don't understand. I measured the extruded length before and after cutting, with two methods, and both gave the same length.
If you check your caliper you will see a small indent on both sides and you are measering about 3mm to long if you take the filament and place it on top of the caliper start at 0 you will see that ti will be longer than 100
