1.8 vs 0.9 degre motor
-
If I change my existing motor 1.8 deg to 0.9 deg motor, did I need to change someting in my settings?
-
yes. depending on the motor you need to change the current.
defiantly you need to double the steps/mm -
@Veti thanks for the answer. I know how to change the steps but the current I not sure how.
-
you have a line like
M906 X800 Y800 Z800 E800 I30 ; set motor currents (mA) and motor idle factor in per cent
as the number put 75% of the rated current of each motor.

@Veti thanks

Depending on the motor, the speed you want and the steps/mm, if you are currently using 12V power then you may also need to increase VIN to 24V. See the motor EMF calculator at https://www.reprapfirmware.org/.
