        <title>steps per unit line</title>
        <description> Can any one explain what the (*8) and (*1.1)  do in this line 
 
#define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT   {78.7402,78.7402,1520.0*8/3,515*1.1}  // default steps per unit for Ultimaker

and isn&#039;t it say the first # of 78.7402 the motor steps for x to go 1 mm?</description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Does the fractional portion of the number do anything, or does it just get rounded to the nearest whole value?  I don't understand how it could perform a fraction of a step, but maybe I'm missing something.  Thanks for any help!]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Axis X,Y,Z,E. yes it is the micro steps(1/16) to move 1mm. The *8 and *1.1 are multipliers. It is just as well to use whole numbers in place of the equation. 1520*8/3 =4053.3333]]></description>
