Download a solid 20x20mm calibration cube.If you change extruders, you will need to do this step again.Ĭalibrating S3D and your extruder for correct extrusion rate This needs to be done once for the life of the extruder.Adjust extruder steps per mm in Marlin or Repetier until this is exact and repeatable. If extruder steps per mm is set correctly in Repetier or Marlin, the second line should just disappear inside your extruder entrance hole.Then, command your extruder to advance 100mm using Repetier Host, Pronterface, or the Machine Control Panel Jog Controls Tab in Simplify 3D.

Command your extruder to advance in small increments using Repetier Host, Pronterface, or the Machine Control Panel Jog Controls Tab in Simplify 3D till the first line just disappears inside your extruder entrance hole using small manual steps.With no hot end (just the extruder connected), mark with a fine black marker a line on the filament about 25mm from the end of the filament, and another line exactly 100mm higher, then feed the filament into your extruder.Calibrate and set e steps per mm in Repetier or Marlin such that when 100mm of filament is commanded to extrude, 100mm of filament is pushed thru your extruder exactly.If you can, also play with cooling settings using a part cooler fan.Ĭalibrating Marlin or Repetier firmware for correct extrusion feed Make sure Adjust speed for layers below 15 sec is set, and Allow speed reductions down to 20% is set.change outline/perimeter shells to 1 (this sets the slicer to print a single wall).For other materials, use S3D's default process settings for that material, and similarly create a new calibration process, modifying outline/perimeter and extrusion width to match your nozzle size. this single wall calibration must be done for each type and brand of filament you use- PLA, ABS, and PETG will all require different extrusion multipliers.leave retraction on, retraction 1.0mm if direct drive and 4.5mm if bowden with 0mm extra restart distance, 0mm vertical lift, 1600mm/min speed.make sure nozzle diameter says 0.4mm, not 0.35.click on show advanced- a lot more tweakable settings will appear.select profile as your existing 'go to' profile.Notes: This guide is for users that want to properly calibrate extrusion in Simplify 3D using a 0.4mm nozzle width and PLA filament
