### Can I find out whether the printer has lost steps?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In a way, yes. Home the printer, issue a `GET_POSITION` command, run
|
||||||
|
your print, home again and issue another `GET_POSITION`. Then compare
|
||||||
|
the values in the `mcu:` line.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This might be helpful to tune settings like stepper motor currents,
|
||||||
|
accelerations and speeds without needing to actually print something
|
||||||
|
and waste filament: just run some high-speed moves in between the
|
||||||
|
`GET_POSITION` commands.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note that endstop switches themselves tend to trigger at slightly
|
||||||
|
different positions, so a difference of a couple of microsteps is
|
||||||
|
likely the result of endstop inaccuracies. A stepper motor itself can
|
||||||
|
only lose steps in increments of 4 full steps. (So, if one is using 16
|
||||||
|
microsteps, then a lost step on the stepper would result in the "mcu:"
|
||||||
|
step counter being off by a multiple of 64 microsteps.)
