Need help with calibrating xyz steps on a borlee/reprap May 26, 2016 10:18PM |

I got the printer up and running, but I need to calibrate the xyz steps.
If I move 100mm, it comes to 103mm
Do I need to modify the firmware with arduino, or can I modify the g:code in Slic3r?
The company seems to have stopped selling this model printer, so I don't have a copy of the firmware to modify.
It has a Melzi V03 board.
Thanks

I have never used a Melzi board before, but if you have a LCD display you might be able to change it there or via gcode if EEPROM is enabled?
To change the steps is quite easy, just a rule of 3 is needed, current value X 100/103 set the new value via display or gcode and save via m500
Thank you for your reply.
I do not have the LCD panel, unfortunately.
I will try the gcode, thanks!

Do a little test,
Run a m501 command and see if it return any values, should give you back XY and Z numbers, use the rule of 3 to get the new values and then do an m92 command like X (new value), Y (new value), Z (new value) and then do a m500, once done run again an m501 and see if the values were changed.
Good luck
