9. With your new value activated, mark and extrude again. It often takes a few iterations to dial in.
- If you get different lengths in back-to-back tests, you have an **extruder issue** \
- When using the formulas above, make sure you're using your updated `rotation_distance` / e-steps value for the "current" value. Don't keep using the original value.

- :warning: If you get different lengths in back-to-back tests, you have an **extruder issue** \
(or, if printing hot, it could also be a hotend/nozzle obstruction.).

10. Once you settle on a value, save it permanently:
