I'm new on 3d printing just set up. X and Y axis went smoothly with accurate reading but my Z axis print more layers the usual size. Eg. Printing a 40mm cube for calibration, X and Z axis print correctly but the Z axis went higher than 40mm went up to 400 layers. My setting are first layer 0.1mm by 0.1mm following layers.

You said it was 40mm high and you were using 0.1 mm layers- that takes 400 layers.
If the part is taller than expected, you need to adjust the Z axis steps/mm. Here's the formula:
New steps/mm = target size / printed size * old steps/mm
In case your algebra is a little weak, do the division first, then the multiplication.

P.E.M.D.A.S, right?
Except in the UK they have B.I.M.D.A.S, but same thing.
Parenthesis / brackets
Exponents / indices
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction
Also, 0.1mm layers are a bit slow- for a 0.4mm nozzle I use 0.2 microns- 200 layers for the cube, so 2x faster.

With multiplication and division, expressions are evaluated from left to right.
