Calculate Steps Per MM



Formula

The formula to calculate the Steps Per MM is:

\[ NS/MM = OS/MM \cdot \left( \frac{100}{D} \right) \]

What are Steps Per MM?

Steps per MM are a measure of the amount of distance in millimeters that a 3-D printer travels per step made by the printer.

Example

Let's say your old steps per MM (OS/MM) is 80 and the distance traveled (D) is 50 mm. Using the formula:

\[ NS/MM = 80 \cdot \left( \frac{100}{50} \right) = 160 \]

So, the new steps per MM (NS/MM) would be 160.
