Calibrate X and Y axis

Hi,

I printed a calibration cube with 20x20mm but it cames out with 19,8/19,8mm.

I know I can change the steps with M92 to match the target, but as I read, we cant save those setting with M500. So I have to change to startcode. 

Is there a better way to calibrate the axis or save the changed settings?

 

Thanks a lot!

RE: Calibrate X and Y axis

Hello Simon,

I'm no expert, but prior to changing the steps, could you provide a bit more info? For example: what kind of material are you printing, what profile did you use...and most importantly, how did you measure the cube? 

The reason I'm asking this, its not very usual to have the exact same discrepancies on two axis...at least on my tests.
I also use a .00 metallic precision caliper instead of my other plastic chinese .0 precision caliper

Edit: sorry, the axis was on the title...my bad 😉
