Can Repitier Host controlling the Ball Screw instead of belt system?

Jakunis

I just try to change belt system to ball screw in my DIY 3d printer and not sure that the programme can use with it or not?
If it can, does it have an extra setting? and How? thanks

Host does not care about belt or screw. It just sends move commands and it is up to firmware to handle it correct. Both need same settings only ball screw normally has more steps per mm and is therefore slower but normally with better precision if it is good quality.
