# Save Printer Settings (Optional, but recommended)
Dumping your current settings can help you determine values such as steps/mm for the extruder.
You can (OR MUST) dump the current settings of your printer. It may help you to figure out some configs, like steps/mm of your extruder.
1. Create a file named `savesettings.gcode` on your SD card with the following contents:
1. Send `M503` to see a report of the current settings in your host.
2. Create a file named `savesettings.gcode` with the following contents:
```gcode
M6046 ; sdcard access
M8512 "currentconfig.gcode" ; save settings to file
```
3. Save it on the printer's SD card
4. Put the card in the printer and "print" this file
5. The printer won't do anything. Just wait a few seconds and stop the print.
6. Your current printer settings are stored in the file: `currentconfig.gcode`
```gcode
M6046 ; SD card access
M8512 "currentconfig.gcode" ; save settings to file
```

2. Insert the SD card into the printer and “print” this file.
