Step 16: EEPROM Settings
The EEPROM settings are ones that affect your printer's stepper motors: so your X, Y, Z and E (extruder) motors.
These motors turn by making minuscule rotation motions or "steps".
The settings therefore control whether or not your prints are to scale or not; and also the amount of filament that gets pushed through to your hot end by your extruder.
To calibrate these settings you must print a to-scale calibration object (like a rectangular cube, or calibration steps) and measure how each axis performs. If, say, you are printing a "40mm cube" and the x-axis side is a couple millimeters too large - you must decrease the "Steps per mm" under "X:".
OR if the extruder motor is either extruding too much filament (resulting in big blobs) or too little filament (resulting in too thin lines and flaws) you have to adjust your "E" motor steps per mm accordingly.
Hopefully the settings I have configured will work for all :) For me they render a perfectly in scale, smooth-sided cube.
IMPORTANT: to access the EEPROM settings you must have your printer connected - with NO commands waiting.
