    X and Y axis move 2mm instead of 1mm and Z axis move 6mm instead of 1mm. Steps per mm for X and Y axis are 114.29. Steps per mm for Z axis are 2560. How can I fix this problem?

    What is your microstepping set at? 5. Troubleshooting · Spark-Concepts/xPRO Wiki · GitHub For your x and y, your microstepping jumpers are probably off causing it to double.


    2560 for the Z is...weird??? Where did you come up with that? According to RepRap Calculator - Prusa Printers at 1/16 microstepping, you should have 1600 steps/mm at 1/8th 800 steps/mm at 1/4- 400 steps/mm.

    Here is a link to the set-up guide Home · Spark-Concepts/xPRO Wiki · GitHub and on the right a you can find a link to trouble shooting.

    Are you sure? The board comes with the default setting of 1/8. With the 14 tooth pulley - which I believe the Acro comes with- at 1/8 you would move twice as far because it only takes 57.14 steps/mm.

    Default from Grbl, as Acro itself doesn't have a Z its left up to you to calculate if you add one...

    Connect with OB Control and load one of the acro machine profiles.

    That got it close but my steps are off and I need to adjust so it would be nice to know what others are using. For example my X axis if off by 1/2 inch when moving 10 inches

    Use OB control to fix that. Check out the calibration wizards in the Wizards and Tools menu. :)
