I am thinking it may be time to re-tune the basic extrusion details within my printer. Although the printing is running well, and very reliably, I have been having challenges with filament tracking and estimates. Using the FilamentManager Plugin for Octoprint, I can enter a spool of 1000 grams, but according to the numbers, I end up with about 1200 grams before I actually run out of material. This makes it rather difficult to clearly identify if I have enough material for a larger job or not.
The print quality is fine, from what I can tell, but I do get a bit of what I assume is over-extrusion on the walls of a print. Later this week, I will try a couple of extrusion tests, and see if I can’t fine tune the system.
If you have any thoughts, feel free to leave me a comment with your suggestions.

Maybe they are sending you spools 🧵 with extra thread.
