Z Steps
im running into an issue where my models are shorter then expected
when I measured 100mm ends up being 96.31mm
so i was trying to update my Z steps
In Marlin i set it to 6400 steps
but when I connect to the printer, the feed says the following
Steps per unit:
M92 X80.00 Y80.00 Z12800.00 E541.06
Why does it say 12800 steps if i set 6400 steps in marlin
using 1/8 microstep
is it just doubling it since its not using 1/16 micro?

Do you have eeprom enabled? Could be remembering the last settings instead of pulling form the configuration.h file.
Code:M502 M500

I did have eeprom enabled and I think this was the problem. I didnt realize that with eeprom enabled I needed to do M502 & M500 after i flash
i only adjust files in marlin/flash i dont change stuff via the lcd
