Xtool D1 (non pro)
Lightburn Software
Why is it not possible, in the console, for me to adjust the steps of the motor to get a more accurate cut?
Are $100, and $101 the correct lines for the x, and y steps? If so, I need to be able to correct the “100” steps to about 100.60
Thanks in advance
Did you try to change them?
Some of these machines will not allow the user to change these, others will allow it, but on re-boot they are restored to the factory rom settings.
I did change them in the console, and even saved the gcode to see if it would be written, but it took no action. Even if Xtool locks the eeprom, it should still recognize the change, and run that code as easily as it does the movement.
I entered the code in the settings (see photo), but nothing. I have tailored Marlin firmware to run on all of my 3D printers, and am pretty good with gcode, and I DO NOT advise anyone to do this if you don’t know what it does to your machine.
If it reads the value from the eeprom you’re 
There are a million ways to do this kind of stuff. We can only guess how they did it…
xTool does not allow for GRBL configuration changes. You’re stuck with what you have in this regard.
As I said though. In 3D printing, I can change the values in PrusaSlicer if need be, but normally I lock them in through the firmware. It’s not like they need to be changed every day. My question is if I do change those two values in the console, they should have some effect. Also, when I save the gcode, and the values are saved, the M code should be read, and executed, but it’s being blocked somewhere. I can’t offer things to people that are to be a specific measurement if these companies building expensive machines don’t think we are capable enough to decide what we need. Are the two values that I marked the variables that change the x, and y steps?
No. You have no influence over this.
Thank you much for the help.
I will probably just change the board, and load it with Marlin. The configurations, and setups, are not difficult.
If you have a choice in this I’d suggest going with a GRBL based solution over Marlin if at all possible. Marlin is currently much too varied and not particularly well supported. You’ll likely be changing one headache for another.
