So I followed the instructions when swapping to the Flexystruder on my TAZ 6 a few days ago. I wrote the number down on the back of the head and entered that into Cura when told in the directions for the e-step piece. Today, I switched back to the standard/default head and now I can’t remember what the e-step number was prior. I think it was 0 so I entered that and it seems to be printing well. Now, if I go into the LCD of the TAZ itself, it has a number of 866 there for the e-step. Should I put that in Cura instead? Or leave it how I have it at 0? Will the machine settings override Cura? I feel like I made such a rookie mistake! Thanks for the help! ---

0 in Cura box = Use machine/firmware E Steps Number on Flexy in Cura Box = Use that number instead. So if using the Flexy you enter the number on the back of it in the box in Cura. If you re-install the original you enter 0 in the same box so that it uses the number in the firmware that matches the E Steps for the original extruder. ---

Coo, thank you! Everything was printing just fine set at 0 so I figured it was good. Still might try my hand at checking e-step one of these days. I have to pull myself away from printing! I might only have black and clear but I just ordered more colors to try out! thanks again! ---

You can also save each toolhead as a separate profile (or multiple profiles for the same toolhead), so when you load the flexydually toolhead profile it will load up the correct offsets and same for the other toolheads. ---

Thanks for that suggestion! I think I will do that to make my life easier. Getting forgetful in my old age! LOL
