Manual should mention extruder calibration

The manual should include a section about calibrating the extruder steps per mm... I've been printing with 10% under-extrusion for weeks 😳

Hello BMan,

Would you mind sharing what Extruder Calibration test you used to come to the conclusion you were 10% under-extruding? It sounds like your calibration test may be of great value to someone like me who is still learning. Thank you!
