    Thanks, is there a resource you used to do your upgrade (ie like a guide with a kink to the required firmware? I would like to do it in the future.
    I cannot think of a specific guide, you just have to learn about the Marlin Firmware. Essentially the Marlin firmware that is run on your printer is a few text documents with settings that you can modify. Take a look at this video:

    Using my knowledge of the firmware and the mechanical system, I had to change the Steps/MM of the Z axis to 400, compared to 4000 on the default setup.

    The source code for your firmware should be posted. If you look in the Configuration.h and Configuration_adv.h file, those #define's control just about everything.
