configuration before printing

Hi dears

i'm try to make my own 3d printer.before complete the project and testing,i think i must config my step motors by changing step_units,when i calculate step per unit(mm) i reach this number (19.6850) but this number dos not config my stepper motor correctly,but when i product this number to 10(19.6850*10=196.85) and add to configuration all of things are ok and machine works correctly.

my question is that,why the number must product to 10 in full step controlls?

    How do you come to 19.6850? Maybe there is an error that factor 10 corrects. 20 steps per mm is very low resultion and totally unusual.

    based on this tutorial:


    StepsPerTurn = 400 // Most stepper motors have 0.9 Degree per step
    BeltDistance = 2.032mm // Distance between repeating grooves. GT2 belt = 2.032mm
    GroovesInPulley = 10 // 8-10 are common values---> FOR ME IS 10
    Substepping = 1//for a full step needed
    StepsPerMM = StepsPerTurn*Substepping/(BeltDistance**GroovesInPulley)
               = 400*1/(2.032*10) = 19.6850

    With full steps 20 sounds mathematically reasonable. I have 160 steps on my X with 1/16 microstepping.

    I would look into microstepping if I were you. What stepper drivers are you using?

               = 400*1/(2.032*10) = 19.6850
