Comment on Calibrating my E-steps ended up giving me nearly pixel-perfect prints (Creality K1)

Can you point me at more info on how to do it on K1, and how does it help? From my end I’d like to recommend the glass bed mod for K1 (put in between the stock bed and magnetic sheet). The bed level is really great. ~0.1mm difference across the bed, no weird bends, no need to preheat (heat soaking?) in advance before leveling

Heh - I currently have everything set up for the glass bed mod, except I just read that it doesn’t work with the CR touch sensor, so I’ll need to get a BT Eddy sensor or sonar something. I’ll also need to print a new gantry, and I’ve already tried one that didn’t work as well as the stock one, so just waiting to do more research on that, and then I’ll have my glass bed all set up!

I have it working with a BTT Microprobe (which is very similar to CR-touch). It does not work with the PRTouch which comes with the printer (and is inferior anyway). Eddy is probably much better than either of those. I have the gantry mode printed and pre-assembled but decided not to go with it. Maybe someday if something breaks and I’ll have to tear printer apart anyway. When you’re saying extruder you mean the hotend?
