Extruder calibration is critical to quality print results. In order to complete calibration, you will be extruding a known length of filament from the extruder and measuring it as accurately as possible. Calipers make the job easy, but a ruler with mm divisions will work fine. Just note if you are using calipers, 1/10th mm is probably more than accurate for this purpose.
