A simple tool for easy and precise E-steps calibration on the Anycubic 4Max Pro.
Calibration procedure:
- Heat up the nozzle to the standard temperature for the material used.
- Insert filament into the extruder and push some through the nozzle to prime it.
- Place the gauge over the extruder hole, stretch the filament and cut it flush with the top surface.
- Remove the gauge.
- Extrude a 100mm of the filament (use
G1 E100 F100 command)
- Place the gauge back and check the filament position:
- the longest line is exactly at 100mm, the smaller lines are 1mm apart.
- Calculate the actual extruded length:
- if the end of the filament is for example 3 lines above the center line then the extruded length is 100mm - 3mm = 97mm
- if the end of the filament is for example 5 lines below the center then the extruded length is 100mm + 5mm = 105mm
- Calculate the new E-steps value and set it in the firmware.
- Repeat 1-8 to check if the new value is correct or if it still needs some adjustment.
