So I bought this to replace the extruder on my Anycubic Mega X as the supplied extruder fell apart (I use a bowden extruder system) . How did I install it? I ended up laying it out so that the words were NOT upside down like you might have seen some people do on YouTube when it was installed (logically installing with the words upside down results in it running backwards ). for searching, so now I'm putting my process below so people don't have to search. At first it worked fine, then it started to slip, did some research, it is necessary to set the electronic steps once the motor rotates the gear in the extruder to feed the filament to the hotend). I already had Simplify3D, so I connected the printer to my PC, started Simplify3D, went to Tools > Machine Control Panel, set the port to COM3, disabled Verbose, went to the Communication tab and clicked Connect (it worked once and didn't the day before, Idk). After that, I followed Thomas Salander's E-Step calibration video and ended up with a new E-Step number of 377mm/s (the Mega X seems set by the manufacturer to be 400mm/s, which is...impressive(?) for one Extruder without dual drive from what I've read) Once I had the number to enter, I dialed the code for the new steps (M92E377 for me) and then entered the M500 command. It should save the settings but send the code M501 just in case (this will bring up the data you saw when you first connected BUT with your new E-Step value). Restart the printer, reconnect it to the computer and check if the value stays the same. Then do a test print and you SHOULD be good. Happy printing!
