The spring is overly strong in the extruder so everyone is supposed to loosen the screw as much as possible so the sprint is compressed as little as possible. People who have tightened this spring had problems with grinding filament.
I posted elsewhere how to modify the current to the extruder but I haven't messed with that for this particular test. I doubt anyone has.
Supposedly if you increase the current much more to the extruder it will grind the filament instead of slip (skip steps). Slipping is strongly preferred. Although the alternate story I heard is that increasing the current any more doesn't make much difference. I kind of doubt that.

Is this a new kind of arm wrestling? :grin:
Are the distances of the extruder screw and the adjustments of the stepper drivers known for these values?
