I am for sure underextruding. Thing is I cranked the multiplier up to 1.12 and it did not seem to make much of a change at all.
Based on EVERYTHING I have seen/read about over/under extrusion if your multiplier needs more than 1-2% of adjustment then the feed stepper is out of calibration.

All the guides I can find are for reprap/prusa machines...not sailfish.

edit:
Is there any way to give firmware commands via SD card?? Or am I gonna have to plug in to the machine directly?
I have asked the question many times on calibrating the steppers for feed since in another forum that is the answer always given.

I keep getting told you don't need to. I finally read a blurb somewhere that stepper calibration in firmware is for Marlin based and that Sailfish takes care of it via software. I don't remember where I read it but it made sense.

Here is a good read.
