Software Configuration; Set New E-Step Value - Bondtech Prusa i3 Assembly And Installation Manual

Software Configuration

As the new extruder uses a gear reduction to create a high extrusion resolution and
high torque the E-step value needs to be changed. The E-step value tells the printer
how many steps to send to the motor for each mm of filament.

Set new E-step value

The E-step value is set using a G-code file that you can download
These files are used to set the new E-step value on the printer. On MK2, MK2S and
MK2.5 the E-step value should be 415 as it uses 16-bit microstepping, on MK3 it
shall be 830 as it uses 32-bit microstepping, this is valid for standard 1.8-degree
stepper motors, if a 0.9 degree motor is used the E-step needs to be doubled, so
830 and 1660.
Copy the file to the SD-card and put it in the printer, select to print the file and the
new e-step value will be set and saved to the controller.
Good luck with your Bondtech feeder!
