Hi, me again, thanks to mark for fixing my last problem, I have anew one now, I have managed to produce a couple of small items but they do have size problems.namely slightly undersize, how do I adjust the size ,can it be done in settings or do I have to go back to the drawing board?
your help appreciated coldoug

you need to fine tune the X/Y/Z/E steps/unit to get a accurate result:

#define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT {80,80,2560,93}

Such as manually move the X axis 50mm, then measure the actual moving distance and compare these two values to increase or decrease the steps/unit.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the quick response ,it had me puzzled for a while but when I scrolled further in to the display I found figures which looked similar played around and got sizes within o.02mm

fantastic thanks again coldoug
