not printing with correct mesurements

flopes_ct · April 2017

Hi everyone,

This is my first post here so I hope someone can help me out.

I have an i3 prusa mk2 printer and I want to print some files that need to be precise.

I am using sketchup to draw the part and then I export to .stl to print. I open the .stl file with repetier host V1.6.2 and when printing the part I have a difference of about 4mm on all the axes. I opened the .stl file with another program to be sure of the size and everything is ok, I guess it must be some parameter in slicer that makes the part reduce in size.

Anyone could help me out? Thank you soo much

More likely is a wrong steps per mm resolution in firmware settings.

ok, I will have a look, any idea how many mm per step it should be?

post a link to your .stl and i will test for you.

at 1/16 microstepping motors

normall steps/mm on a I3 is X80 Y80

Z depends what type srew rods are fitted.

4000 for M5 0.8 pitch threaded rods. 2560 for M8 1.2 pitch threaded rods ,400 for M8 4 start leadscrews,
