K8200 calibration issue?

K8200 3D Printer K8200 - Issues while printing
1

Hi there,

I had an excellent overall experience with my printer until likely 1 week,

I have a e3d v6 extruder which is working good (nice finishing) therefore my issue seems to be a calibration one

while I’m asking for a 8mm diameter circle, I got rather 8.2 or 8.4 using a caliper, I was wondering how I can solve that issue to be close to 8mm

I understand I won’t be able to perform 8mm perfectly, but .2 seem to be a bit high, as the pieces I’m printing need to be able to feet together

please let me know

thanks,
Quentin.

Calibrating extruder is actually not hard

Here is a good post

Also this is a great general good to broader calibration

Hope this helps

You should adjust the sizes or your parts to fit.

You’re asking for a level of precision not inherent in the technology.
