Setting x-axis stepper e-steps Can it be done?

I am precision printing on a MK3S

If I print a 5 inch square with single line edges, the overall width X-axis dimension is 0.013" wider than the Y-axis overall dimension.

How can I adjust the e-steps for that axis so it will be correct to the Y axis or can it not be done?

Thanks

You should be able to use the commands listed  here https://marlinfw.org/docs/gcode/M092.html   to set steps for any axis, set them temporarily with the M92 to experiment and get the correct values and then you should be able to update those stored in the eeprom using the M500 command.  Best to read the current ones back with M503 first just in case.

I'm not 100% sure Prusa implemented them all but its worth trying.

It works!

M503 lists all printer/firmware parameters (at least what I was interested in and others)

Yes M92 will set  (mine was 100 needed to be 99.72)

And Yes.... M500 SAVES parameters to non-volatile memory.

 

Thanks!
