Setting Steps per mm

So if the current value for X was 80 and the printer only moved 97mm when trying to move 100mm, the equation would be: <code>97 * 80 / 100</code>
The new X Steps Per mm to 77.6
 
The same principle applies for the extruder. If over/under-extruding, use this equation.
== Cartesian vs. delta ==
Delta printers only have one '''Steps per mm''' field because all three motors work in conjunction to triangulate the position of the nozzle. Thus, only one calculation is needed if the dimensions of the printed part differs from those of the model. If measured independently, they should all be off by the same ratio. If not, the problem lies elsewhere.
