Thanks I am using the stock nozzle and a ploymake pla filament.
I’m trying to calibrate 3 A350’s, starting with extruder calibration. For one of the units, I get results when I send commands from the console ( e.g. M92 ), but on the other 2 all I get is an OK response. Any idea why I’m not getting data back?
A lot of commands dont work over wifi… you have to connect via USB/Serial for it to work

Are you on the latest firmware? I thought they added something to allow wifi commands to return a response recently. Maybe not.
Definitely using the latest firmware, yes. The odd thing is that the third machine is my personal one, and I also use Wi-Fi. But it did take a while before I got real data and not just an OK. The other two machines just keep giving me the same thing. I will connect via USB and see if that works.
Thanks.

sorry, need to post over 20 characters so force to talk sh***
Thank everyone so much!!
I was having the worst time and thinking of getting rid of this thing! From the actual steps to the cleaning hot end/nozzle and saying there should be a tube in there. Mine fell out and I thought all was lost.
One question left. I was not able to get this to work with a F050 (the code I saw from the ‘original’ steps). I calibrated with F200 and got it within 0.1mm (need better calipers, I know). Should this E step work for any speed? even 25mm/s?
Looking to print a few minis and want to use what I have before investing in resin.
Thanks again!
The instructions posted much higher in the thread gave the F300, I also found that this number gave inconsistent result. Slowing down to F100 gave perfectly repeatable results and I was able to calibrate the steps that way.
I can’t find the instruction, could anyone send me a link?

Here you go: Summary: Extruder calibration a must
Can this be done over wifi in the meantime?
@Wellnice
No, I did it few weeks ago, and you still have to connect it with usb.

Extruder calibration result for new extruder:
E237.50 extrudes exact 100mm of PLA Filament at 215C° - I did several tests to confirm this value.
Slicer Flow still needs to be set to 88% in cura to get reasonably accurate prints.
How to do this with new firmware 1.15.3 (supports dual extruder) I now see this line when running M503
M92 X160.00 Y160.00 Z400.00 B888.89Current E212.21, BACKUP SINGLE E212.21BACKUP DUAL E667.22
I guess the extruders work the same so it would be fine to set only one estep.
Maybe you set your estep and then switch the other tool by T0 or T1 (not sure if this works, maybe you could see in your gcode?) and then set again?
Can anyone provide more assistance on calibrating Esteps on the dual extruder? I tried the other day and had some issues that resulted both nozzles not being recognized. A M502 command fixed that issue. I haven’t messed with it again since my first attempt failed.

I would suggest starting a new topic for the dual extruder e-steps calibration to keep things separate and avoid confusion for new users.

I calibrated my E-steps about a year ago and now I’m going back in to tune it again. Originally I set it to E240 but now I am down to E226 so its something you might want to check if you change your nozzle size or even different material types (especially tpu) but can simply be modified on a by material basis in your slicer by increasing or decreasing flow/extrusion multiplier.
Hi everyone.
I got the dual extruder and want to check the calibration.
i figured out with “T0” and “T1” to change the extruder.
But not every time after i typed “G1 E100 F050” something happend.
I could make it for T0, but T1 is not working like T1, after some time it extrudes in the wrong direction.
And I was surprised that the original value is 667.22.
Current E667.22, BACKUP SINGLE E212.21, BACKUP DUAL E667.22
Hope someone could give me the right hint.
Maybe one of the pros can add a calibration tutorial for the dual extruder.

M83 for relative movement, after this you should be able to extrude.
