I think 42 is the length of the motor body in mm, 50cm should be the length of the cable. The pitch is 2 and the thread has 4 starts, therefore the z stage will move 8mm per rotation.

Indeed that makes more sense since the info it's just after the voltage
Hey guys, so I set the z steps to 200/mm, and I have a very short robot, less than half the height! Is there any way of figuring out the steps/mm?
Think the 42 number could be microsteps?
Edited by GuestThe motor has no microstep value. Microstepping is set in the hardware (e.g. jumpers of the stepper drivers) or in the firmware. Usual microstepping values for the ultimaker are 8 and 16.
If we assume 200 steps per mm of the motor and 8mm per rev of the lead screw, then the steps per mm value would be:
200 * 8 / 8 = 200 for 8 step microstepping - this is your current (and obviously to small) value
200 * 16 / 8 = 400 steps/mm for 16 step microstepping - this seems to be a reasonable value for your printer and the heigth of your prints should be doubled.
Think the 42 number could be microsteps?
Hi Erri,
Many thanks for the reply. Indeed I did change it to 400 and it seems to be giving me normal height robots now! Im confused as to why it is different to my UMO with HBK, so its most likely the stepper drivers having a different specification?
Thanks
Also out of interest, why would this only affect the z stage? I have gt2 conversion and set the steps/mm accordingly (80) and that was ok.
Hi,
I'm Chinese. So I can translate everything if you still interested in this one:
Product Information:
Name: T8*8*2 step motor with lead screw
lead screw: diameter 8mm, pitch 2mm, lead 4mm, length 300mm
motor: 42 step motor, Voltage 12~24V
Current: 1.5A, wire length 50cm
usage: ultimaker 2 3d printer accessory
I think this one is suitable for your project!

It looks like. The correct type for the lead screw would be Tr8*8 and it's a double helix with 8mm diameter. The length of 300mm also seems to be there and a maximum current of 1.5A makes sense as the motor is driven with 1350mA on UM2s. No idea what the 2mm could mean. 42 is knowingly the answer to life, universe and everything.![;)](//content.invisioncic.com/ultimake/emoticons/5a33abe00be82_1f609copy.png)
I'm missing the fact the motor has 200 steps per turn.
You have to adjust the z steps in Marlin, have a look at the UMO HBK firmware at Github.

The 50cm maybe it's how long it's the motor
