It should be good to go, the only thing I have to tune now its the retract , I start at 2mm then 3,4 and 5 @ 50mm/sec its fine when its go from example the skirt to the print but inside the print after a infill when it travel back to the perimeter I always get a small line of plastic following the nozzle, I try to use Z lift of 0.1 and 0.2mm but this dont help. Maybe I should try retract on layer change.
Any recommendation for a 60cm direct drive bowden ?

Now, with everything very close to ideal values, we can finally dial E steps in that final little bit!
Find an object with flat tops on a number of levels, such as this cube stack test (scale this object by 250% after loading in Slic3r)
Slice at 95% rectilinear infill. Use the lowest layer height you're comfortable with - the lower the layer height used for this test, the finer your resulting E steps calibration will be. I use 0.2mm for first run, and if I'm feeling ambitious I'll repeat this process at 0.1mm.
Print.
Ignore the first 5-6 layers because they're too sensitive to the exact height of the first layer. If it's obviously over-filling or under-filling, alter E steps or Z=0 point and restart the print.
Observe infill. If you can't see tiny little gaps between the lines, reduce E steps by 0.5% every 2 layers until you can see tiny gaps.
Observe solid top layers. If you can see tiny gaps, increase E steps by 0.5% every 2 layers until there's no gaps in the top.
Send the new E steps to your printer with M92 Ennn without even pausing the print - you will see the result in a couple of layers when the change is this small.
Goto 5 until the infill has tiny gaps AND the solid top layers do not.
Now, your E steps value is extremely fine-tuned! Save this value in your firmware's configuration and flash to make permanent.

I also think im over extruding a little bit on the solid layer but not that much, I don't want to alter the extruder multiplier because its calibrate to give me a correct wall width.

So no one who follow that thread have the wall thickness and top infill tuned ? its one or the other ?
How can you calibrate the Over/Under extruding and the wall thickness without altering each other ?

Hi groupB,
Wow, you're really getting some quality out of your printer now. Looking great.
The tree rings on X might be due to something that's a bit 'jumpy' on your Z tower. This can be something like:
* Using a round bearing instead of a toothed pulley for idlers on that tower
* Looseness somewhere on that tower
* Using small values of microstepping on that tower
* Binding on that tower of some sort
* Improper current setting on the driver board
Try also rotating your part 120 degrees in your slicer so that a flat face is perpendicular to the X axis, instead of being perpendicular to the Z axis. Now try printing again. I'm betting that you'll see that pattern again, this time due to the X tower.
From the pattern, it looks regular enough to be belt teeth or stepping related. Good luck finding it.

Ok did the print facing X tower and also Y tower both have the tree ring...
Also both have around the same distance between the middle and the first "Ring" and the next
So its not Z tower then ? what can it be ? Bad calibration ? I know the factor 7 of DC42 calibration change my arm length little longer that they really are but I have no idea if this can affect the print this way...
