Extruder calibration (e-steps) calculator is incorrect #506

Description

@rcambrj

On the extruder calibration (e-steps) calculator, there is a calculator form.

Inputting the following values:

  • Previous E-steps as reported by M92: 100
  • Measurement between extruder entry and mark on filament (mm): 40

Yields:

Your new E-steps should be 125.00000

That's an increase of e-steps when the extrusion is too little.

From the klipper documentation:

rotation_distance = <previous_rotation_distance> * <actual_extrude_distance> / <requested_extrude_distance>

that is -

66.667 = 100 * (120 - 40) / 120

It looks like the logic is incorrectly reversed.
