[title] Preparation
-[* 9] If you have setup a different estep value than stock in the past I recommend to reset it to its default.
-[* 10] We recommend a micrometer instead of caliper for the following steps. Caliper are not precise enough to measure such small values and a micrometer has a ratchet system made to apply same pressure for all measures.
-[* 11] If you need to buy a micrometer, choose a quality one. Digital micrometers are not necessarily more accurate and precise. In most cases, noname digital micrometers are worse than quality analog ones. Some recommended brands: Tesa, Mitutoyo, Etalon, Mahr.
-[* 9] Make sure to use the temperature you are using for printing the filament. Do not change the temperature during these steps. Temperature might change the flow and so extrusion multiplier.
