6. Matters need attention


You need to change your E stepper AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT parameter. Like Ender3 as an example, you need to set AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT to 870 using our Sherpa mini rev1.5. How to change it?


Marlin - Ender3


Method 1: Change the parameter on your firmware


#define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT   { 80, 80, 400, 870 }


Method 2: Send Gcode to change it


M92 E870
M500


For some printers, you may need to adjust the stepper motor E current to prevent overtemp on the stepper motor. Like Ender3, we recommend to set it to 0.35A.
