Hello, I am testing some changes in my prusa, but as a beginner I have no clue which value should I set for the THSL-300-8D threaded rods [www.ebay.com]

is there a defacto perfect value or should I use the prusa website calculator?

My current values are:
#define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT {80,80,2560,94.4962144} // default steps per unit for Ultimaker

You can always just give the command to move the axis 1, or 10, or 100 mm and then measure how far it went.

There are some formulas on the wiki pages, use them to calculate the correct values using the parameters of your equipment. That's how i did it.

It's in the section with calibration stuff.
