xyz steps calculations

[Dan Flemming]

Anyone know how to fix the xyz steps/mm?

Printed an xyz calibration cube (20mm square) to see if the printer was accurate.

It's not.

How do you fix those steps/mm in these replicator 2's?

Thanks,

D

Hi Dan,

Use this formula for correction for the axis you'd like to calibrate. This formula is simply for a 20 mm cube, using cross multiplication to find the Corrected Steps per mm value

CorrectedStepsPerMMValue = (20 mm*CurrentStepsPerMMValue)/(MeasuredSide)

I have done this in Simplify3d, not sure what is your slicer but I have changed the steps per mm in the slicer using this calculation and it is now accurate.

Thanks

Lukas

Thanks Lukas,

I already know the calc's

But I use cura, and I don't think there is a setting for steps.
