Marlin - setting up aNema 17 with planetary gearbox reduction

Hi guys, I would like to ask for some ideas, because I've exhausted mines abut this.

For the Z axis I was using a stepper motor attached to some guide rails and was managed to get it working fine, but had to upgrade to a new motor with a 1:26.85 reduction gearbox.

The problem is, to any value of steps per mm that i put in from 50 to 2600 (the calculation of the correct value for this setup is 2600) I always get half turn on the shaft. Always the same movement for different step/mm value!

Is there any other setting in Marlin that controls this?

see specs here: link

I'm using Arduino Mega with Ramps 1.4 and Marlin firmware and full steps.

Settings on movement (note not using E movements):

#define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT { 3 , 3 , 2600 , 500 }
#define DEFAULT_MAX_FEEDRATE { 4000, 4000, 2000, 25 }
#define DEFAULT_MAX_ACCELERATION { 500, 500, 500, 50 }

#define DEFAULT_XJERK 5.0
#define DEFAULT_YJERK 5.0
#define DEFAULT_ZJERK 1.0
#define DEFAULT_EJERK 5.0

Thanks.

Can it be that you are still using the old values which are stored in EEPROM? See commands M502 (reset values) and M502 (store values in EEPROM) ...

I don't think so, but I will test for sure.

Thank you.
