Topic: Calibration of Feedrate Question

I'm in the process of doing the Calibration of my Solidoodle 2 machine as laid out in RichRap's article, accessed through the Slic3r Help system.

In his areticle he references a line "float axis_steps_per_unit[] = {80, 80, 3200/1.25,700};" with the 700 being identified as the feed rate. This is all in the firmware that is to be resent to the chip on the machine.

This line does not appear in the new Solidoodle 2 firmware. But there is a line in the "Private Variables" area that reades; "Static float feedrate = 1500.0, next_feedrate, saved_feedrate;"

My questing is, is this the feedrate that I should adjust to corispond to what I calcualte doing the steps listed?

Well, I found Ian's video on doing the calibration of the Feedrate and have it all set. Now on to the rest of the settings.
