Thanks, I guess it gets more complicated with having a Delta printer, as there steps/mm is not a single stepper motor thing, but a combination of them all...

On a cartesian printer you have to set the steps per mm correctly. On a normal printer these can be calculated from the properties of the stepper-motor, the pulley, the belt and microstepping-settings.
On a delta printer you also have to set delta-radius and rod-length correctly, which can be quite complicated.

(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.-

Well, you asked in the Cura section, so...:
Cura has no functions to do any calibration of printers.
But you can use the scale tool to change the size of the loaded model.
In addition: most printers allow to change the steps/mm (per axis) with a gcode command. You can add such things to the start script in Cura if you want. The exact command and the parameters are depending on the printer and the kind of firmware it runs.
Hope that helps!
