What are the steps per mm settings for the basic OX build?

2

Also, is anyone using a smoothieboard to run their OX?

Are you wanting to jump directly to a number and not measuring to dial it in?

4

What stepping increment and belts are you using?

For GT3 belts on a Gshield (1/8 steps) I had 25 for 101 and 102. The fine tuning comes later.

I just wanted a rough starting point. Will definitely dial it in from there. I am using GT3 belt and probably 1/32 stepping

I would stay at 1/8th. You lose torque with such a minute step size. It’s
not like you’ll gain accuracy due to the nature of belts and hobby machines

OK I will try 1/8 stepping with GT3 belt.
