 ====== Redrex extruder upgrade kit ======
 From the following [[https://www.amazon.co.uk/Redrex-Assembled-Extruder-Upgrading-Printers/dp/B07L9JJ7XJ|page]], an upgrade kit is offered, mainly containing a filament extruder motor with a gear reduction. The gear reduction would give the extruder more force to push the filament in.

 ==== Extruder intake ====
-After following the [[https://github.com/davidramiro/Marlin-AI3M/wiki/Calibration#extruder-steps|extruder intake calibration procedure]] it was observed that instead of 100mm the intake was only 25mm, So this resulted into the following DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT in Configuration.h:
+After following the [[https://github.com/davidramiro/Marlin-AI3M/wiki/Calibration#extruder-steps|extruder intake calibration procedure]] it was observed that instead of 100mm the intake was only 25mm((The reason for this is primarily that the stepper drivers are DRV8825 type and the steps/unit was still unchanged.)), So this resulted into the following DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT in Configuration.h:
