Determining the extrusion multiplier
This is the first print job you will execute
on your RepRap Industrial 3D printer.
All required files and settings are preinstalled on
the 3D printer and need no further interference
beside the instructions given in the following.
The “extrusion multiplier” allows for
compensation of varying filament properties,
first of all the cutting depths of the drive gear
into the filament but also deviations of the
diameter (also see
). The extrusion properties of any material,
although chemically exactly the same, may
differ from one filament spool to the other so
that it is impossible to determine the correct
extrusion multiplier prior to delivery. After
leveling the print bed, it is therefore mandatory
to calibrate the extrusion to adapt your printer
to the installed filament in order to ensure a
correct printing performance.
INFO
When printing ABS it may be
necessary to run the [Extrusion
calibration] wizard after changing
the filament spool without changing
the material itself.
It is necessary to find the correct
extrusion multiplier after changing
the material. The respective
procedure is described
.
To calibrate the extrusion:
