Sorry for the bad formatting. It's a link to the calibration guide. I meant, how did the calibration tests go?

too hot for PLA. reason for the strings between segments, lowered to 195. Also increase retraction settings.

I haven't gone through all of it myself, but it does appear to be the most recommended guide for calibrating your printer.
I, too, don't have a full understanding of that guide either....
(I just want to print obscene things to send to my friends 4500km away. Is that too much to ask!? lol)

The Folger Techs don't seem to laminate well below that temp.
I printed some PLA the other night at 210*c and delaminated.
At 195*c it barely seems hot enough to extrude.

In your firmware or LCD screen if you have one. Its a simple rule of 3: actual steps X desired distance ÷ actual distance = new step value. You can put in on the motion selection in the display or in firmware configuration h file.

Measure your part, if your old steps are for example 80 and your part was supposed to be 10mm but came out 12mm, you do 80X10÷12 the resulting value will be the new steps per mm value that you need to change in configuration h file.

That's right, don't get disappointed if you are still off after the first calibration. It took me few test prints to get it right.
Print also a big hollow cube, don't calibrate only with small parts.
