    @WheresWaldo Is it just my printer or can I not adjust the steps per unit for the motors in the RC3 firmware? I've changed it and reloaded it multiple times with all the axis but it still remains at 80,80,400,800. Du no if this is part of a bug that might have been mentioned, but I don't seem to have the problem with the stock firmware.

    I just need to change the Esteps because I am using a new extruder gear.
    Went back to the old firmware for now, but I want to get back into RC3.

    Thank in advance,
    Marquis

    You need to select "Reset to fail safe" in the control menu

    Ran into that myself

    I will add that note to the information in the thread. Since EEPROM is enabled and Marlin has the brilliant idea that it is 'safe' to keep all the settings between flashes, you need to flush those values and start over. You can also do this in terminal with the following commands:
    Code:
    M502
M500
