The "axis step per mm" does not affect torque in any way. This setting only determines the length of the move. If you set it to 10, it will move some distance, if you set it to 20 it will move double that distance, if you set it to 30 then it will move 3 times the initial distance, etc. Ofc if you set it to 0.1 then you will have to click it 100 times to move that same initial distance because 10=100*0.1. That is all. Nothing to do with torque really.
I get that it doesn't effect the torque but when I set the values really low like 20 the motor will move and I wont be able to stop it like I could before. It has the torque that it should instead of the puny barley moving nonsense. Which is weird I don't see how it makes a difference, maybe has something to do with the motor needing more steps or the steps are screwy? Could this be a problem with my ramps or mega board? My motors are 12v aren't they supposed to be?
This is what is really weird, if I set it super low all of the larger values like 1,10, and 100 will work(and like before it has the torque that the motor should) but the lower value like .1 will not move the plate... well it will but the plate wont move at all until I hit .1 like 3 times and then it budges once the same distance as the 1 jog. But if I set it higher then the motor will either not move at all or will only move on the .1 jogs and make high pitch noises for all the other values increasing in pitch the higher you go in jog vale 1,10,100. weird right?Quote
If smaller moves seem to be better, perhaps you have too high setting of acceleration or jog speed, and at long moves when it reaches the peak settings it fails, while at short moves it may not have time to reach the peak settings so it may seem better, but this scenario is already some kind of a stretch.
