    So I’ve finally figured out an issue I’ve been having, and it turns out that the program thinks that the board and the picture are WAY bigger than they are supposed to be. The only way I’ve been able to make them any smaller is by making the board as small as possible, but there is no way for me to change the size of the picture itself so my options are limited. I just wanted to see if there was another option or maybe something in the code I can change to make everything smaller. Anything helps, and thank you for the help.

    Did you DIY this machine? If you used 200 step-per-turn motors and the firmware is set to 400 (or you don’t have microstepping turned on) then the motors will turn a LOT more then expected. For example, Marginally Clever Makelangelos use 400 step per turn motors at 1/16 microstepping, or 6400 steps per turn total. If you use regular 200 step motors with no microstepping, that’s THIRTY TWO times more than expected.
