prints coming out slightly too small delta printer
-
I did a test print of a 20mm cube and it was 20 mm but when I go bigger a 150 mm circle is 145mm
I'm seeing all kinds of size problems but they are only a few mm out
how can i sort this outmy stepper motors are

I suggest you print some grid lines to check whether the scaling is uniform or varies with position. Even a simple noughts-and-crosses/tic-tac-toe pattern big enough to cover the whole bed may be sufficient. If the scaling isn't uniform, the lines will be bent instead of straight. This is an indication that either the steps/mm or the configured rod length is out. You can check the steps/mm by measuring the height of a tall printed object.
If the scaling is uniform, use M579 to correct it.

M579
ok so if i am 4mm too big X and 1mm too big in Y
how should the M579 Look -

how should the M579 LookThat depends on how long the print was in X and Y. If it was 100mm in both directions, you would need:
M579 X0.96 Y0.99
