Triffid Hunter's Calibration Guide for the Rostock max v2

[Mogarbobac]

Has anyone gone through this calibration guide that already knows these questions? or could answer them for me? thank you

Know your stepper motors' full steps per revolution value. 1.8° = 200 steps
Know your stepper drivers' microsteps setting. Most Pololus are set to 16x. GEN3 driver 2.3 is fixed to 2 (half step). Some boards have 32x.
Know the number of teeth on your pulleys. Standard printed pulleys have 8 teeth. Most machined pulleys have 10 or 12 teeth since 8 tooth is technically too small for T5 belt
Know your belt pitch! XL and T5 belts /look/ the same, but the difference is important!
Know the number of teeth on your extruder gears, or at least the gear ratio.
Remove all sources of backlash. Your parts won't be usable as calibration pieces if you have lash!
Open the Online RepRap Calculator to find XY and E steps, layer heights, and acceleration.

I would like to do this calibration guide, and need this info too for my Rostock V2 Max. Anybody know this info?

Sounds like you're talking about a different machine than the Rostock Max. They use 200 step motors, 16th microstepping, and 20 tooth GT2-2mm pulleys. The extruder isn't geared, but the steps per mm is around 96 (from memory).

What machine are you working on? I second the reprap calculator suggestion, it's a great resource.
