Stepper Motors

Steps per millimeter - belt driven systems

The result is theoreticaly right, but you might still need to calibrate your machine to get finest detail. This is good start tho.

M92 g-code can set the steps per mm in real time. Here is an example with your result for X axis.

Steps per millimeter - leadscrew driven systems

Gives you number of steps electronics need to generate to move the axis by 1mm.

M92 Z0

Optimal layer height for your Z axis

Helps you to select layer height in a way, that Z axis moves only by full step increments. Z axis isn't usually enabled during inactivity. If the axis is disabled during micro-step, axis jumps to the closest full step and intorduce error. This effect is occuring to some extent even while leaving the Z axis motors enabled. This is most usefull to machines with imperial leadscrews but also for unusual layer heights with metric leadscrews.
