Something is messing up my esteps!
I tried to upgrade my extruder to a Nema14 belted variation of the itty Bitty single extruder. I could never get the e steps and calibration sorted as well as with the stock extruder so i switched back. Now, I am having the same issues!
For example. I started with the maker farm default 841 and proceeded to adjust the steps till I got a 50mm extrusion when called for. I ended up at about 926. I say about cause I could never get it to give repeatable results. One time it would be .5 under extruding, then it would 2mm over!
Once I got it close i figured I would print a calibration object and fine-tune the rate. It over extruded from the start. i ran print after print and now am all the way down to 821 and it is still not right.
Could the stepper driver be bad?
Please explain to me how to...
