@damaged_goods Could someone explain what and why it is "bizarre" to alter steps per mm in homing file. I have no reasoning and am never offended to learn something new

the steps per mm depend on your pulleys teeth and the belt pitch
or the leadscrew pitch.
not taking into account microstepping which rrf does automatic step conversion.so during operation you cant normally change either, its not obvious why you would want to change them.

The "steps per mm" settings are determined by the design of your printer.
They should never need to be changed if the hardware does not change.
The purpose of the settings is to achieve the correct amount of movement on each axis for movement commands.
For example, assuming you have issued a G91 to enable relative movement mode, a G1 X10 should move exactly 10mm on the X axis.
Likewise for Y and Z.
If the settings are wrong the actual positions will not match the commanded positions and bad things will very likely happen.

The steps per mm should be set in the config.g and not in a homing file. Once it's set, it makes no sense to change it unless you have some very specific reason. Otherwise it just doesn't belong there.

Thank you everyone
