To change the steps/mm on my Duet WorkBee copy the lines from config.g to customconfig.g:
; Configure Axes
M92 X400 Y400 Z400 ; Set steps per mm
Adjust the X, Y and Z Values to your new calibrated values.
To find your new calibrated steps/mm you can cut a piece of material 100mm in the X and Y.
If you cut a piece which is set as 100mm in your CAM program, and it comes out 95mm in reality on the X for example.
The new steps per mm would be as follows 400 x (100/95) = 421.
The settings on customconfig.g would change to:
; Configure Axes
M92 X421 Y400 Z400 ; Set steps per mm
Remember, after changing customconfig.g make sure to restart your controller.

If the resulting numbers are not whole numbers, should they be separated by a period or a comma? (eg.: Y=401.23 or Y=401,23)
