Underextrusion New Printer
I have a 500 with orbiter V2, mosquito magnum. I followed the guide for the firmware configurations and on first print, it is severely underextruding. Manually toggling extrude seems fine. I want to make sure I have everything configured correctly before I go brute forcing things in tuning.
an update: increasing the flow in slicer is not making much difference, but the extruder motor is extremely hot only a few minutes into printing a test cube. Also E-steps seem to be about right.

Could be a mismatch between absolute & relative extrusion
in the slicer it is disabled. The parameter in the firmware is set to false. I tried setting it to true and when I saved, it threw an error, so I changed it back to false.

Did you include the correct Orbiter extruder in the printer.cfg?
I used the one with _1004 at the end of it. I have an orbiter 2.0

Correct nozzle diameter set everywhere? ^^
yes 0.4
Problem was slicer had 2.85 mm filament set by default.
