Hi!
I just replaced my wade's geared extrude with a direct drive. But what do i need to change in the firmware to get it to extrude the correct amount?
This is the direct gear/wheel i am using.
Anyone that are using direct drive and want to share some tips? smileys with beer

You'll need to change your E steps/mm setting through a calibration procedure. There are many web sites that describe this procedure, but I like this one.
