E-Steps per extruder

I've been working to calibrate my extruder steps, but am having trouble figuring out how to set the steps for each individual extruder. Currently I'm putting my M92 command in the printer settings in Slic3r, but I see no way to select the extruders by number.

Example: M92 E141.92

What I want: M92 E1 141.92 E2 140.11 E3 141.2 E4 139.2

Is this possible with the multi material kit?

Thanks!

Re: E-Steps per extruder

It's possible to do this with KISSlicer; it may also be possible with Slic3r, but I haven't tried it...

With the Bondtech drivers, it isn't really necessary to change from the 140; they don't tend to vary that much unless you have the tension incorrect.

Thanks! I will try adjusting the tension to see if that helps. I have all of the tensioners set to 4mm from the body, and will see if slight adjustments (4mm-5mm) makes any difference before continuing.

I've been trying to print some small annular snap-fittings, and they have been very finicky to say the least. At first none of them worked. I've made some progress by fine tuning filament diameter and extruder steps. Currently I'm able to get 3 out of 4 fittings to work, but I'm shooting for 100% (probably not realistic). Larger snap fittings ( > 15MM) seem more forgiving, but when I'm printing small diameters any inside holes are always significantly too narrow. I know this is a pretty standard issue, but I'm trying to minimize it as much as possible without tweaking the actual model.
