Brand new RepRap Calculator3. The most hipster calculator yet!
The result is theoreticaly right, but you might still need to calibrate your machine to get finest detail. This is good start tho.
| Result | Resolution | Teeth | Step angle | Stepping | Belt |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | micron | 0 | 0° | 1/0th | 0mm |
M92 can set the steps per mm in real time. Here is an example with your result for X axis.
M92 X0
Gives you number of steps electronics need to generate to move the axis by 1mm.
| Result | Leadscrew pitch | Step angle | Stepping | Gear ratio |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 8 | 1.8° | 1/16th | 2 : 2 |
M92 can set the steps per mm in real time. Here is an example with your result for X axis.
M92 Z0
Helps you to select layer height in a way, that Z axis moves only by full step increments. Z axis isn't usually enabled during inactivity. If the axis is disabled during micro-step, axis jumps to the closest full step and intorduce error. This effect is occuring to some extent even while leaving the Z axis motors enabled. This is most usefull to machines with imperial leadscrews but also for unusual layer heights with metric leadscrews.
| Layer height | Error over 10cm | Number of steps | Step length |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 8mm | 8 | 1.8mm |
| 0 | 8mm | 8 | 1.8mm |
| 0 | 8mm | 8 | 1.8mm |
Input your acceleration settings, distance/length of axis and you can see you your printer will hit your desired speed and for how long.
