how far a printer moves is related to all the hardware on the axis
the size of stepper step commonly 1.8 or 0.9 degree
The micro stepping selected
the belts or leadscrew specs, teeth per mms or distance per revolution.
and and gearing and/or pulleys
If you know all this you can just plug the values into a reprap calculator such as [
blog.prusaprinters.org]
You set the steps/mm to match your hardware.
First thing I would do is install some control software on your pc. The LCD is really designed for a machine that is fully working. It is missing many tools
Install pronterface , get it talking to your controller.
send your machine a "M503" this should print the current settings.
You need to work out values that suit your machine.
If you can find a configuration for your old printers firmware, you can just copy the values over.
