I wanted to calibrate the eSteps on my stock Taz 6 but I can’t figure out how to extrude 100mm of filament. I just haven’t been able to figure that out. I apologize for asking such a stupid question but how the heck to do I do that? ---

Hello, We actually have a guide on this process on our OHAI page linked below. [https://ohai.lulzbot.com/project/fine-tune-mini-extruder/calibration/](https://ohai.lulzbot.com/project/fine-tune-mini-extruder/calibration/) ---

Oh thank you so much. I’ve been looking for that for days! ---

I think the guide is missing the formula to use for the E-Step calculation. ---

I believe Step 10 has that covered: **Add 7mm** to your Esteps for every mm your printer **under extruded** **Subtract 7mm** from your Esteps for every mm your printer **over extruded** ---

Hee! Hee! That assumes a set fixed diameter for the manually manufactured hobbed bolt! Very unlikely. ---

Google for `e steps calibration calculator` and take your pick. - New Steps/mm = (Old/Current steps/mm) x (asked for extruded length) / (measured distance filament traveled) ---
