A30 Calibration.

Hi,
Calibrating the printer with smartto, z axis and thought I would check the extruder.

1. How do you get the printer to extrude 100 mm of filament?

2. Smartto ver 1.0? did not find settings. Tried ver 1.2? And it loaded some settings. The motor steps were in red 000.000 so I just typed the settings in, saved and it worked.

How can I get the rest of the settings to appear?

Thanks

Hi, extruder discharge calibration
Calibration step 1: In order not to consume consumables, the heating end of the feed tube can be pulled out.
Calibration step 2: The feeder feeds a section of consumable filaments and clamps them tightly.
Calibration Step 3: Select the position of the consumable port of the feeder as the starting point, and make a mark at 120mm of the consumable wire.
Calibration step 4: Control the printer to feed the wire 100mm on the LCD.
Calibration Step 5: Measure the actual distance from the consumables entrance to the marking just made. If it exceeds 20mm, it means that there is too little wire feeding. If it is less than 20mm, it means too much wire feeding.
Calibration step 6: Calculation formula: new_e_steps = old_e_steps * (100 / distance_actually_moved)
Calibration Step 7: Write the new_e_steps you got back into the machine. Can be set on the screen
