Title: Calibration problem
Post by: oldnewbie on April 23, 2015, 05:21:14 PM

I just started running my new Marc3 and I need help. The XYZ dimensions don't add up. It shows 1.0000 but the actual travel is .10000. I need help on how to recalibrate so 1" is 1".    Thanks    Jerry

Hi Jerry,

        Can you tell us about your setup?  what step resolution is your drivers set up for?  How do you drive the machine(ie lead screws or belts, rack and pinions )?

So you're off by a factor of 10.
Divide whatever your "steps per" setting is by 10.
Be sure to click SAVE and try it again.
