    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
