Why do you not follow this?
OK, but its just a dividing value, described in the linked docu.
I will kick it out, and recalibrate again.
now I have these values:
rotation_distance: 3.54
#gear_ratio: 7:1 # BQ
nozzle_diameter: 0.4
filament_diameter: 1.750
test_print is running, looks good, so there must be another influence of gear_ration, not only a division?
Rotation Distance of the feeder is measured by extruding for example 10 cm of filament (not through the nozzle) measure the resulting length and adjust Rotation Distance accordingly.
You do not change this for gaps between layers!
This can be achieved by different line width and mostly flow.

I have a direct extruder, need to measure there and I know how to do. (no nozzle mounted)
OK, that means hardware calibration done?
Flow adjustment in Cura needed?
will try initial layer 120%
reduced the z-offset, now I have a closed first layer
- 0,23
- 0,50
- 0,70
- 0,84
depending on where I measure
Set your Z offset / distance of nozzle to the bed according to the model height and not the gaps in the first layer.
That means: if you printed a model that should have a height of lets say 5 cm and you are using a layer height that is an integral fraction of that height (for example 0.2 mm or 0.1 mm) but the resulting printed model now only measures 4.9 mm you have to increase the Z offset by 0.1 mm and vice versa.
This however needs a reliable probe/end-stop.
If you have a plain bed Z = 0 means the nozzle barely touches the bed. Otherwise you might find a compromise and cover that with an increased 1st layer height.
If you then still have gaps in the first layer you have to increase the first layer flow in your slicer.
But this is again 3D printing basics I already asked you to get familiar with.
You want to run but do not fully know how to walk.
One would expect some basic 3D printing knowledge before going the Klipper way.
This is a friendly advice, otherwise you will ask questions again and again that should be clear.

@LifeOfBrian Good Morning. I know what you are talking about. It is not my first printer, but my first printer completely new build by changing everything on it. I like Klipper, this is what I was looking for in the past. My other printers did run, nothing was to go deeply into. Now with the new build I need to find out, where are the problems, hardware, software, settings. I have my ways to find out things, but that does not say they are correct. That is what I am asking for, what are the correct ways, especially here on the printer.cfg and adjustments, to find out, if the printer is good or not.
I was told to print the test_print part. I did. I have a result, could you please tell me what is it, where I am standing with it?
THX to all friendly helping hands!
How does one undo the rename_existing? I used a pause macro but I want to revert to the original…
Remove the macro?
After doing some more learning, I see that commenting it out is all that I have to do; I was initially thinking that command changed something permanently, but I’ve learned that is not the case
