Extruder Calibration Cura

I created a video to calibrate the E steps on 3d printers using Cura on my Anycubic Kobra Go. Just thought it might be helpful for anyone that doesn't want to use Pronterface. I tried to keep it simple, let me know what you think.

Some PLA filaments that I've used

In case you get the point where you press enter and expect filament to flow and it doesn't, enter G92 E0 and hit enter, this will reset the extruder. Then enter the G1 E100 F100 and hit enter, it should work.

I was suffering with my Anycubic Kobra Neo because all of the videos just said to extrude x millimeters and I didn't have the option. Finally I can configure it

Thank 🙌🏻✨

Wonderful explanation of how to calibrate the extruder and fix issues! I was off a whopping 55mm! I couldnt figure out why it was off so badly after doing an upgrade to my machine (auto bed leveling), best guess is that when I flashed base settings, I overwritten factory settings with the newly downloaded configuration text files.

Really thanks you i'll find if my Kobra 2 is welle calibrated or not...
I really like your videos and i hope that yo'll continue to help more people trying there best to print without any drowback!!

Hi there! My Kobra have already arrived. I've already finished some orders on it. Direct-drive looks nice. I like it more than bowden. But since the head is very heavy you can't really speed it up. Right now looking at their new fast printing lineup and debating further upgrade on Black Friday.

Happy to see your content.

i finally figured out my main issue right now is Z seam, might be worth a video.

[chrisc]

Thank you for this. I was intimidated to do this but you made it wasy.

[epadprime]

thanks a lot this video solved my under extrusion problem really great

[mayankdhiman]

Dude... u r AWESOME.
And I see ur video skills have hugely improved 😊

[andyb]

Very interesting video, thank you. One problem, when you have Cura or anything with the numbers up it's slightly blurry. I even used a magnifying glass to see if it was my eyes or the video. The other pictures, printer, are clear. Just FYI.

first couple uses of pronterface is intimidating for sure. last last week i was getting frustrated it would not connect to my printer just to find out cura and pronterface could not be running at the same time as both where connected to the printer

i have one nitpick
if you home printer and extrude filement in the home position directly on the table, you may get wrong resoult becauseblob of filement created on the table might restrict the flow
it would be safer to home the printer and then move z azies by 10-50 mm up so it does not make a blob that cause restriction that put strain on extruder, that way you have much less of a chance to have skiped steps during calibration
also you might want to do 2nd step in calibration, being measure actual thickness of the filement and put it in slicer you use, because even if you calibrate esteps and have filement that not 1, 75 but 1, 70 or 1, 69 you would still get underextrusion, and if filement is over 1, 8mm overextrusion. you might think that filemnt is always the same thickness but it might vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, oreven filement type and later your flow rate might be offf. especially frustrating with multicolor systems

Did mine it was just a few mm more than yours. All set now. Doing some Tests now.

Thanks for good vid and little more g-code world 😊❤

[Zuriel.L]

Hi there!, i´m having some problems whit the filament just going about 20 mm instead of the 100mm the gcode says, do you know what could be the problem? i´m using a Kobra Neo :c

[jeromeweaver]

Thanks for this video. Question? Is there a way to set up filament change on Anycubic Kobra Max other than Cura? If not, how do you make it work in Cura?

[samarawallace]

Hi, I'm trying to calibrate my Kobra max, I have cura version 5.6.0. on a MAC. I get up to putting the code on the SD card. However whenever I start it, it always starts at 70%. I'm at a complete loss.

Hello, I noticed that you're using Ender profile for Kobra Go. I know that Kobra Go is a knock-off of Ender 3, but does the Ender profile works any better, are there any changes (in settings) necessary?

[DerGeileHaralt]

i just got my printer and it pulled only 20mm... i feel like there is something bigger off that just the steps... it doesnt feel right putting 475 as the m92 value

[SteadyBlazin]

So I got to the site where I enter the g code G1 E100 F100 and hit enter and it’s not doing anything at all any ideas why? It’s pre heated aswell
