As for the steps per mm on the extruder, I calculated 284/mm @ 1/8 step.
Remember this is NOT filament out, but filament in. It takes 284 steps to feed
in 1mm of filament into the extruder. For 1/16 its 568 steps/mm. I used the
method described on the wiki page to calculate this. Others have also gotten
values fairly close to that.

For the other axis, the values are (at 1/8 step):

X axis - 1600/50.8 = 31.50 steps/mm
Y axis - 1600/50.8 - 31.5 steps/mm
Z axis - 64000/25.4 - 2519.69 steps/mm

For 1/16 just double the values - 3200/50.8 (X&Y) and 128000/25.4 (Z).

Refinement:

Use the RepRap Calculator and Tips with your experience.

http://calculator.josefprusa.cz/ This fine calculator was designed with many years of experience of Josef Prusa of Mendel Prusa fame.

Thanks Mike, I had found that calculator but had not plugged in the H-1 values yet. I plan to document this in the Operations Manual.

cheers,
Michael

Does anyone have any videos of how to calibrate? Things like how high to have the extruder off the platform would be nice.

http://youtu.be/oe3HJzL1vQI Neil Underwood has a few videos that have some calibrate ideas. The printers might be different but the concepts are decent.

Settings used for Repetier host/firmware are located on the SeeMeCNC RepRap page.

Note, the firmware settings are fairly common across most firmwares, I actually started with Sprinter, Marlin then a few others and was able to just transfer numbers to each Configuration.h file of each.
