I did a write-up in chain length calculation for the forum wiki.

Chain Length Calculations

Components of Chain Length Calculation At any time, the position of the sled on the MaslowCNC workspace is set by the amount of chain that extends beyond the 12 o’Clock sprocket top position, the geometry (or shape) of the frame, and the weigth of the suspended machine components. Sledposition accuracy is controlled by two things: The fitness of the calculation model built into the firmware The accuracy of values for the machine parameters used by the model. Note: This article discusses o…

I think we have a good handle on calculating how much chain wraps around the sprocket. It’s not something we calibrate.
