Prusa mendel i2 extruder settings
June 01, 2013 04:24PM
Hello all sorry but I am new to this and this is probably a silly thing to ask but, I have set my fireware for my x,y & z stepper motors but have no clue how to work out the vaule for the extruder.

I have a Sanguino 1.3a board with Atmega 1284p running Marlin firmware.

So far my setting look like this (just for information really)

#define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT {72.7442,72.7442,200.0*8/3,760*1.1}
________________________________________(X)_____(Y)____(Z)______(E)

Just need help with the last equation please. confused smiley

There is also plenty of info in the Wiki and the Google Machine on the tubes of the Internet... winking smiley (that's a cheeky way of saying Google something like "reprap extrusion calibration") Good extrusion is a key. You'll need to know how it works and not just what to plug into the firmware.

Thanks, I will have another look at google but when I looked before it sent me all over the space continum sad smiley

I also understand how the extrusion works its just I am not sure how to get the feed rate at a usable rate, so far I have just been getting no feed due to feed to high so not melting my pla or just running out of hot material.
