Hello!

The following object
[www.thingiverse.com]

Has good and bad extrusion step counts for the whole build, How can I find out how many extrusion steps a build will take?

I am using Repetier Host V1.0.6

you can see how much filament is consumed and multiply that by your steps per millimeter. Of course this won't count retraction, but I don't think there is any way short of G code analysis to account for that.
