📄️ Extruder Calibration
Extruder calibration is simply the process of ensuring that when you command the printer to extrude 100mm of filament, it actually extrudes exactly 100mm. Don’t confuse this with the extrusion multiplier; one is a printer setting, while the other is a filament-specific adjustment.
📄️ Extrusion Multiplier
The extrusion multiplier (also called flow rate) is a setting to adjust the amount of filament extruded by the printer. It acts as a scaling factor applied to the extruder's flow rate and helps fine-tune the filament output to match the actual filament flow with what the printer thinks it is extruding.
📄️ Input Shaper
Input shaping is a technique to reduce or eliminate vibrations (also known as resonance) that occur when the printer moves at high accels. These vibrations can cause visible print defects such as ringing or ghosting, where the surface of the print shows repeating patterns or distortions, especially around corners or sharp changes in direction.

📄️ Frame Assembly
Proper execution of blind joints and correct installation of extrusions are crucial for the stability and performance of your 3D printer. A solid, accurately measured, and well-assembled platform on which the printer is mounted will directly impact the quality of prints and overall performance. In this guide, we will outline the steps you need to follow to ensure that the printer's platform is parallel and properly assembled, maximizing the stability and accuracy of your printer setup.

📄️ TMC Tuning
For TMC tuning, you'll need the TMC Autotune add-on. This extension generates optimal values for most registers of TMC stepper motor drivers by using the motor’s datasheet specifications and the user’s selected tuning goal. By leveraging this data, the extension ensures that the motor operates efficiently and meets the user's specific requirements, whether the focus is on performance, noise reduction, or precision.

📄️ Temperature Controls
Here, we will explain how you can tune two different temperature control methods. One is the PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) method, which is natively supported by Klipper, and the other is the MPC (Model Predictive Control) method found in DangerKlipper (DK), a modified version of Klipper.
