Hi,
Changed the sprockets and steppers on my Genmitsu laser and something has changed after the upgrades it moves slowly and it isn’t going where I want it to move. I changed the steppers from 1.8 angle to 0.9 angle also the sprockets too. Now lightburn thinks my work area is around 220mm x 230mm instead of 600 x 600 tried to calibrate the steps in lightburn by drawing a 50 x50 square and got a 20 x 23 square.
Any help you be appreciated.
While you can use the axis calibration in lightburn, that’s really more meant for instances when tolerances are stacking up such that your steps/mm are slightly off from what’s expected.
For you though - you know what type of motors you are using, you should know how many teeth your pulleys/sprockets have, and it’s likely you are using 2mm pitch belts, but that’s easy enough to measure.
I recommend taking a look at this which includes details on how to properly calculate your steps/mm value: https://lightburnsoftware.github.io/NewDocs/Troubleshooter/StepsPerMM.html
