| + | <WRAP group> | ||
| + | <WRAP half column> | ||
| + | The extrusion properties of any material, although chemically exactly the same, may differ from one filament spool to the other so that it is impossible to determine the correct extrusion multiplier (see [[http://manual.slic3r.org/|Slic3r manual]]) prior to delivery. After leveling the print bed, it is therefore mandatory to calibrate the extrusion to adapt your printer to the installed filament for ensuring a correct printing performance. | ||

| + | //When printing ABS it __may be__ necessary to run the [Extrusion calibration] wizard after changing the filament spool without changing the material itself.\\ | ||
| + | It __is__ necessary to find the correct extrusion multiplier after changing the material. The respective procedure is described [[tips-tricks#calibrating-the-extrusion|here]].// | ||

| + | **To calibrate the extrusion:**\\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | At the 3D printer | ||
| + | * Choose the [Calibrate Extrusion] wizard from the //Setup// menu at the touchscreen (see [[#Setup|above]]). | ||
| + | * Select the respective extruder. | ||
| + | * Select and start the print job from the //Queue//. | ||
| + | * After the print job has been finished, return to the [Extrusion Calibration] wizard. | ||
| + | * Enter the measured value via the touch buttons. | ||
| + | * The necessary extrusion multiplier is calculated automatically. Take a note of the value and record it in the slicing software. | ||
