How do you ensure your model translates to reality?

The standard procedure is to use MDI to move the machine 1" and then measure how far it actually moved. Repeat at mid-travel for the axis and then full-travel for the axis. There is some math to associate the measured delta with the fudge factor. Plug your numbers into the controller and repeat the test.

Thank you for reminding me of this.

One such link of which you speak (if not the link) is here.

My J-man on QCW was set to X 15.99 (not sure if 1.0.9 changed this from 16) and Y 10.00.

By using the procedure (h/t CyberReefGuru), I found my J-man on QCW was actually X 15.985 and Y 10.011. I hope that helps someone else (though I have no idea what the thread per mm tolerance is).
