Topic: Using Motor Steps Instead Of MM For Z Axis
Hi Guys, was just wondering if there's a way for slic3r (or any other program) to specify Z movement with steps instead of MM.
I have a moire effect on my prints and i'm guessing it's the microns of difference from each layer to the next. Its a repeating pattern so im guessing its either the Z screw or layers being slightly different... or both. I figure if i can specify the layer height by the amount of steps, each layer will always be the same height instead of having wonky layers...
I know you can fiddle with the firmware and calculate all the maths but I figure this way might be easier.
Just a thought. Thanks.
Edit:
Just thought of something else if the answer is no to the above question.
How may steps does it take for the z axis motor to do a complete circle?
If i make 1 step = 1mm (for example) and it takes 100 steps to make a complete circle i can just specify slic3r to use 100 MM layers...
...Am I making things more complicated than they really are?
