    Diagnose this printing issue

    I have my itty bitty dual extruder working
    when i print this with my left extruder with white ABS its not filling it properly
    and large spacers are shown

    When i print it with my right extruder and black Abs it prints fine
    using exactly the same settings

    I dont want to mess with my esteps as it affects both extruders..

    thoughts?

    something is slipping if you can put a few rubber bands around the top and see if the added grip helps if so your just slipping on the filament
    extruder 1 and 2 each have there own Esteps and just because the uses the same parts means nothing
    on my rig E1 = 892.4 steps E = 872.3 but i'm using 2 of the stock extruders right now converted to bowden with dual hexagon
    i have printed most of the itty bitty dual even have a hardware kit just waiting on steppers and free time

    another thing that can do this is height make sure both hotends are dead Even

    As of at least the September 2014 Marlin source code that I use, there is no support in Marlin for more than one extruder steps per unit value. One can add as many additional parameters as one wants to the DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT array, but they won't do anything. The code in configurationStore.cpp will only read in the first four values, and the variables holding the run-time per-axis values for steps per unit, feed rate, and acceleration are only sized to hold four values.
