Stepper motor settings
-
Another newbie question
Do these numbers look sort of right for standard nema 17 steppers 1.8 deg
The currents are set just below there maximum rating
The X,Y,Z are v typical 1.8 deg steppers
The extruder motor is a 0.9 deg ( the stepper for the E3D titan extruder )
printer is an old formbot raptor , cartesian style .The M92 z4000 seems very high .
I sort of get the meaning of the various lines but I dont know what is normal or at least expected ( ish )
many thanks

- 1600mA for X and Y in your M906 command is unusually high for a small 3D printer
- M92 Z4000 is correct if the Z axis uses a screw with a pitch of 0.8mm.
- M201 X500 Y20 Z250 E250 looks wrong, I suspect you have the Y and Z values swapped

thanks , i have put them in and altered the amps to 1000

You may find this of interest to you, particularly the section on finding your steps per MM: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Going_from_Marlin_on_Arduino_to_RepRapFirmware_on_Duet
I agree that 4000 for the Z axis seems a little arbitrary.
