Wow after 2 years of dealing with the headache of getting this printer right and even putting it down for a year this video just helped me out tremendously. Thanks man 🙏
This is by far the simplest and most effective tutorial I’ve come across yet for calibrating e-steps. I’ll have to pick up a calliper soon, as I only had a metric ruler to try this with. Endless thanks for your clear instructions!
This was such a huge help, I've watched it a few times. I goofed and FORGOT to SAVE it when I was done. Once I adjusted and then saved it was a huge difference, thank you and your assistant!
from the bottom of my heart thank you. I have been struggling to get this printer to work for two years now, even switching out the buildplate twice as well as swapping the drive motor and switching to a dual drive gear, which probably only execerbated the issue of a lack of calibration in the first place. For the first time in two years the printer has put out a well made first layer as well as actually printed without cracks between layers.
Thank you for this helpful tutorial👍 I totally forgot to re-calibrate the e-steps for my Ender-3 after switching to a 32bit motherboard. Took some time for me to figure out where the underextrusion problems came from, but now all the problems are solved. And it was so super easy to set the new e-steps with the 4.2.7 board, it's unbelievable.
I just got a new extruder for my printer and was wondering why it was printing so poorly. After a couple google searches I ended up here and it turns out my e steps needed to go from 93 all the way to 414.7. Quite the change, definitely explains the under extrusion with the new extruder! Thanks so much for this video it was concise and easy enough for us 3d printing noobs to understand.
First time e-stepper here, I’ve never seen those parts of the menu! Great tutorial, glad I don’t have to hook up a computer, you made it look easy, thank you
wow, this way is SOOOO much easier. for the last 6 years ive been doing the method of marking the filament before the extruder and half of the time youd start out with it sucking more than the line in which would require you to lower the value, mark again, and run it again. thank you for this!!!!
Seriously, best video on this, so easy and uncomplicated, and your daughter adds some humanity to the usual boring technical explanations. I fixed my ESteps after replacing the extruder and am getting great prints again! Thnak you!!
Excellent video, and by far a lot quicker than sending GCode. Also helps to disconnect the bowden tube and elimate the nozzle from the calibration. Thank you!
Thank you so so so so so so much. I have no idea why all the other videos had to be so complicated, i have been so overwhelmed with them. Tried doing the pronterface and had so much anxiety just trying to download it for me to now be stuck because i need to orderer a newer cable. Started looking into octoprint which then had me having to buy the raspberry pie thing and that's over my head. i just want to print a whole slew of flexi octopi without the small failure in the body/leg joint. thank you!
Appreciate the video. I am just getting into 3D printing and have much to learn. I can tell a huge difference in just getting this extruder calibrated. Thanks again.
Helped me out doing mine. Great video and straight to the point. A lot less stringy on my Ender 3 Neo 3D. Steps is under a different menu but it's there :) +1
this helped me out so much!!! i did it twice and on the second one it was right at 100!! thank you! ive been under extrusion now it should be perfect!!!!
WOW! that was so easy! Now I have to do all my machines. You can also do it on the back end also. I have a filament detector so I just measured backwards and see where it ended up, subtracted that from 100 and I proceeded with the calculation from there. Put me right on the mark.
I have this off brand SUNLU S8 and this worked well. My number went from 96 to 139. Huge change, but I also upgraded my extruder to an ender 3 dual extruder with steel gears, so I think that has something to do with the big jump. No broken parts or anything. I was having to print at 25% speed just to get the plastic to come out fast enough. Hope this helps someone as clueless as me!
🤘🤘new printer here, (5 mo) was coasting on the rare occurrence of receiving a printer that performed well out of the box until it didn’t. This saved me. Followed.
Someone down below noted this but it bears repeating, as I was aware of the "SAVE" setting but nevertheless totally forgot you need to SAVE your new setting before shutting down or (I believe) it reverts to the prior setting you had before calibrating. GREAT VIDEO BTW !
Thanks for the video! We've gotten a few Ender 3 V2s and I feel like some calibrations are off when 1 works perfectly and the other 3 do not. This ought to prove useful. I like not having to connect to a PC!
Thank you for this vid bud. This got mine working perfect. But every time I turned my printer off it would go back to factory setting. 🤷🏼♂️ so I had to alter in the g-code in cura. But this did help me figure out what my printer was not doing. I tested it at 100mms and it was only putting out 65.5mms way off. I’m able to print things again yaaaaa🫶🏼👍🏼😁 thank you.
im running sun pla+ is the best temp 200? I calibrated like in the video calculator gave me 96.07 i put that in setting stll my filament coming out all stringy and hard not making anything but ramen noodle like string what do i do next'?
Never bothered with it as my ender 3 was working pretty well out of the box. Recently was noticing issues with walls and layer adhesion. Changed to a dual gear metal extruder and did the above, it was extruding 84 instead of 100! Dual gear feels too stiff even at loosest... Thanks for the quick and easy tutorial!
quick question i am new to this but when i go to set my esteps my z axis just makes grinding noise while moving into the bed instead of the extruder moving but used your setting and its putting a much better bead down now running test
I follow the steps to follow, but when I enter 100mm, the extruder does not work, it does not work with any measurement that I tell it. What is happening?
Turning your own filming session into a learning experience for your kid was awesome. What a guy
Not really all the noise in the back made it hard to follow at the end
100000% loved this too! I’m not a kids person but love seeing when they are involved in learning.
I thought that was sweet! Way to involve them, they love it 😊
I love how you do this compared to some of the others. It’s easier to understand. I subscribed to you just because of that. Thank you
ditto
Wow after 2 years of dealing with the headache of getting this printer right and even putting it down for a year this video just helped me out tremendously. Thanks man 🙏
9 months ago and still by far the fastest explained and easy to follow instructions for estep calibration on the web
This is by far the simplest and most effective tutorial I’ve come across yet for calibrating e-steps. I’ll have to pick up a calliper soon, as I only had a metric ruler to try this with. Endless thanks for your clear instructions!
you and your kids have shown me more that other videos, awesome
Others explain much complicated but this guy explain simple and very easy to follow and to understand, thank you T-Dub
Thanks so much for this! My prints would fail more than 75% of the time but now they almost all print perfectly.
This was such a huge help, I've watched it a few times.
I goofed and FORGOT to SAVE it when I was done.
Once I adjusted and then saved it was a huge difference, thank you and your assistant!

Was your extruder constantly clicking?
I am keen to this types of videos where they go straight to the point. Thanks for the video!

Thank you for doing this. It's fascinating how much a pain needing to shift 93.0 to 97.6 can cause.

Wow thats so much easier than what some other people are doing ! This is great. Thanks !

Thanks for posting this. After fighting with my ender 3 forever the under extrusion issues are fixed. Great video thanks again.
This was way easier then using a program. Thanks for the easy tutorial.
Thank you so so so so so so much. I have no idea why all the other videos had to be so complicated, i have been so overwhelmed with them.

thank you!
So easy a kid could do it, literally! Great video and easy to follow instructions.
Wholesome video with the info I needed 10/10 would recommend
Ok, i have always had an issue with crappy prints until today that is thanks a ton! This video was a life saver! :)
thanks a bunch i love your steps since it seems more accurate without the melted filament!
Thanks. This is exactly what I needed. Clear and concise.
You have no idea how appreciative I am! You guys are awesome!!!!
Appreciate the video. I am just getting into 3D printing and have much to learn. I can tell a huge difference in just getting this extruder calibrated. Thanks again.
This is my go to video for esteps. Excellent.
Dude! Very nice! Thank you!! And I’m so glad your child got to help as well!
Helped me out doing mine. Great video and straight to the point. A lot less stringy on my Ender 3 Neo 3D. Steps is under a different menu but it's there :) +1
I just got an Ender 3 pro and was having some serious under extrusion issues. I followed this video and my prints got soooo much better. Thank you!
this helped me out so much!!! i did it twice and on the second one it was right at 100!! thank you! ive been under extrusion now it should be perfect!!!!
Very impessive parenting skills, and an awesome instruction video for ender 3 pro e-steps. Thank You.
This is dope! I didn’t want to turn my laptop on, find a cable, setup pronter face and remember calculations! Thank you!
Found your method more accurate compared to the mark in the filament at 100mm. Big thumbs up 👍
Dude, thanks for this video. This is much easier and accurate compared to measuring how much goes into it lmao.
WOW! that was so easy! Now I have to do all my machines. You can also do it on the back end also. I have a filament detector so I just measured backwards and see where it ended up, subtracted that from 100 and I proceeded with the calculation from there. Put me right on the mark.
Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou. Finally someone who I could understand and instantly fix my problem
Fantastic instructions, you made it very easy to understand
This is the far superior way to do this, thank you
i like how you take out the tube I didnt want to waste filament doing this. Great video !
Solid bro!! Thanks. Thought I was gonna lose my mind.
Great video! Easy to follow and to the point.
Genius! This is so much easier 👍🏻
Thanks for the video, it helped a lot . I keep coming back to it
Mine was at 65mm (upgraded metal extruder) 🤦🏼♂️ had to adjust to 143.8 thanks for this video, printing alot better!!
I bet! Glad it worked!

Great video, thanks for the step by step... hopefully you remembered to store your settings after entering the new value!!
i was suprised to find mine only 1mm out first time adjusting Esteps. thanks forr the video
Thank you very much, this has been very helpful.
Someone down below noted this but it bears repeating, as I was aware of the "SAVE" setting but nevertheless totally forgot you need to SAVE your new setting before shutting down or (I believe)
it reverts to the prior setting you had before calibrating. GREAT VIDEO BTW !
Thanks again Sir for the excellent tutorial 👍
Helped me so much just now, thank you!
This did help me a lot. Thank you.
Thanks this tutorial was simple and effective!

Thank you for making this really easy.
You made it so easy! Thanks!
Thanks alot.
My ender 3 pro had wrong E steps settings and this video helped me to fix it.
dude thanks! made this much easier.
Thanks for the help, this really helped!
Thank you soo much easy to understand
A lot simpler than other videos. Thank you.

thats simple and just awsome thanks for that!!
perfect .. great explanation
im running sun pla+ is the best temp 200? I calibrated like in the video calculator gave me 96.07 i put that in setting stll my filament coming out all stringy and hard not making anything but ramen noodle like string what do i do next'?
This is a great video that made me smile, sadly I figured out that you can't do this on just a normal ender 3 lol.
Thank you so much!!! Awesome video!!!
Thank you this simple advice👍👍
this helped me so much thank you
Outstanding! Thank you.
thank you! this helped lots!
Thank you so much for this.
amazing video! thank you
Super helpful. Thanks!!
Very, very useful. Thank you.
Started with 97.4mm, and am now on 100mm, perfect! Thanks
My Ender 3 won’t feed anything when I attempt this, but prints normally. Any suggestions? Maybe a bug in the software?
Never bothered with it as my ender 3 was working pretty well out of the box. Recently was noticing issues with walls and layer adhesion. Changed to a dual gear metal extruder and did the above, it was extruding 84 instead of 100! Dual gear feels too stiff even at loosest... Thanks for the quick and easy tutorial!
thanks for not making it too complicated. Im glad i didnt need a phd in mathematical fusion of geometry pi x 45=Q
You REALLY helped me! Thanks! It was WAYYY off!
Helps yes. And bonus points for how graceful you were with your kiddo. I probably would have flipped out and cut the video. 🙂
great video. thanks
thanks man, this helped!!
Thank! From malaysia!
Good job!
Great video! I love how you told your kid you don't want them to go too far but you did anyway hahahaha
Well that was easy. Thanks!!
I have the Ender 3 Pro and the screen is now where near what your showing, I don't have "Prepare" on my Screen
quick question i am new to this but when i go to set my esteps my z axis just makes grinding noise while moving into the bed instead of the extruder moving but used your setting and its putting a much better bead down now running test
It sounds like your wires are crossed, but if it prints, idk. Good luck!
Thanks Bro!
for the tutorial...
I follow the steps to follow, but when I enter 100mm, the extruder does not work, it does not work with any measurement that I tell it. What is happening?
Thank you very much!
You are the best
Thank you so much!
learned a lot!!!
