Octoprint Steps per mm are not saved

[benjami...@googlemail.com]

Hi guys im using the GPX Plugin under octoprint. If I change the values at the steps per mm it will not saved. After reboot the old values are displayed.

Im using a CTC Printer is there any way to change the steps by hand?

Thanks.

This is ambiguous since there are two sets of steps/mm which can be
accessed via the GPX plugin's settings. There's the set used by the GPX plugin
when it converts gcode to x3g? Then there's the set which the GPX plugin can
read from the printer's EEPROM, display, allow you to change, and then save again
in the printer's EEPROM? This latter set is never saved in GPX and, indeed,
is never itself used by GPX and has no impact on the first set used by
GPX.

These are two different sents of steps/mm. Which one are you referring
to?

Im talking about the set used by GPX Plugin to create a x3g. At EEPROM there is no area to change the steps for X/Y/Z axis.

Is there anyway to change the values by hand? Btw im a linux noob :)

My mistake. I thought that those had been put into the EEPROM settings.

It should save them in a machine.ini file under .octoprint

This could be a bug with the machine alias. Try using "Replicator 1 Dual" as your machine type and change its steps/mm.
