Axis speeds when steps/m are different #61

We have recently had to change out the stepper motor for our X axis on our LAOS converted laser. This has meant tweaking the steps per meter because we were only able to source a 16 tooth pulley instead of a 20.

Since we made this change, we have had to decrease the steps/m on that axis from 79000 to around 50000. This has caused a very odd issue where the X axis now moves significantly slower than the Y axis. Obviously this causes a bit of an issue with charring, as moves which are mainly in the X axis are moving slower than we configured.

What speeds did you define in your config.txt file?

thinkl33t commented 8 years ago

Speed-wise, everything is set to 100. Parts are still dimensionally accurate.

What happens if you change x.speed to 200 (or even 1000)?
