You mention calculating the steps/mm for your axis, but those are just the theoretical values. I would recomend following the concept in Triffid Hunters calibration guide and measure the start position, move the axis a set distance then measure how much it actually moved, for all axis (x, y, z and extruder.).
Then adjust the steps/min value using the formula
new steps/mm = old steps/mm X nominal distance / actual distance
so, if your old steps was 80, and you set the axis to move 100mm and it actually moved 85mm, then the new steps/mm value is 80 x 100 / 85 = 94.1176.
For the extruder, do that with the hotend at temperature and marking the filament, extruding then measuring the mark.
Paul.

What temp is the extruder at?
