Topic: Over my head with Triffid Hunter's Calibration Guide.
Doing my best here but i feel im barely treading water when it comes to some of the more technical aspects of this. The guide says i need to
Know your stepper motors' full steps per revolution value. steps = 360 / angle, so 1.8° = 200 steps, 0.9° = 400 steps, etc.
(where do i find this?)
Know your stepper drivers' microsteps setting. Most Pololus are set to 16x. GEN3 driver 2.3 is fixed to 2 (half step). Some boards have 32x.
(........?)
Know the number of teeth on your pulleys. Standard printed pulleys have 8 teeth. Most machined pulleys have 10 or 12 teeth since 8 tooth is technically too small for T5 belt
(where do i find this?)
Know your belt pitch! XL and T5 belts /look/ the same, but the difference is important!
(what is this?)
Know the number of teeth on your extruder gears, or at least the gear ratio.
(where do i find this?)
Remove all sources of backlash. Your parts won't be usable as calibration pieces if you have lash!
(what is this?)
Open the Online RepRap Calculator to find XY and E steps, layer heights, and acceleration.
(help)
The issues i've been having are my circles are really bad, if i make a print that 25 mm circle, it makes one thats 23, and it seems my y axis is slightly off. Ive been printing the calibration cube and front to back the infill is off ever so slightly. Like i said doing my best to search out definitions but im kinda at a loss on this one.
