Qidi Tech 1 - Replicator 1 clone

Has anyone done an extruder calibration? Measure 100mm of filament and see if it extrudes 100mm? S3D suggested this due to an issue I was having so just wanted opinion from the group on this.

That is for marlin software or repitier I think. 100mm of filament will extruded way more than 100 mm of filament.

Best filament calibration is a 20x20x10 100% infill cube. Follow sailfish recommendations for sailfish software.

In S3d a good starting point for extrusion volume is 90%.

Ok, thanks. You may have told me that stepper calibration or this test is not needed on the QIDI/Sailfish.

Calibration is arbitrary for the most part as a lot of other settings can affect extrusion volume. It is better to go by print quality and make adjustments from there.

What nozzles do you guys recommend when it is time to replace them?
I have seen a few in here with the Swiss Micro looked great but expensive.
