**The new Mega-S is not officially supported. You can try your luck, but I have no means of troubleshooting issues with that machine. E-steps need to be set to 384 (`M92 E384.00` + `M500`), and afterwards calibration is highly recommended as per the instructions on the [Wiki](https://github.com/davidramiro/Marlin-AI3M/wiki/Extruder-Calibration/).** The new **Mega-S** should work too, but you will need to enter those two commands to make the new extruder work:
```
M92 E384
M500
```
Afterwards, calibration is highly recommended as per the instructions on the [Wiki](https://github.com/davidramiro/Marlin-AI3M/wiki/Calibration/).

Note: This is just a firmware, not magic. A big part of print quality still depends on your slicer settings and mechanical condition of your machine. Note: This is just a firmware, not magic. A big part of print quality still depends on your slicer settings and mechanical condition of your machine.
