Anyway, back to the original post, what I'm actually trying to figure out is a good increment value that is a precise multiple of the single step size for Z. If this can be determined, the z-axis should always land at a full step interval, making it all the much better. Micro-stepping is good for X and Y, because you get smooth results, and quiet operation, but I don't think there is as much a benefit to the Z axis if it is allowed to go idle after the move.
