Thank you for your question, Alexander! In this video, "Z Lead screw pitch" means a total movement distance with one revolution, not the thread pitch. Actually, this "Z Lead screw pitch" means the "lead" distance of the screw. It would be my mistake of insufficient explanation if this expression gives you confusion. I use a T8 lead screw with 2mm-pitch and 8mm-lead. T8 means that this lead screw has a diameter of 8mm. 2mm-pitch means the distance between the threads is 2mm. And the 8mm-lead means that this screw moves 8mm with one revolution.

I have followed the steps in this video and save the file for use when I build the printer.
Thank you for your comment, Philip.
Part 2 video will help you to compile and upload the firmware.
Hi! I have an MK8 extruder, how do I calculate its step per mm?
in BOM part list list there is pitch 2mm lead screw and nut wheras in your calculation you are using 8mm. WHY?
Thank you for your question, Alexander!
