Klipper/Rotation_Distance — German @ Hosted Weblate: Extruder

	For example, if a printer has a 2mm belt and uses a pulley with 20 teeth, then the rotation distance is 40.
	Axes with a lead screw	Achsen mit Leitspindel
	It is easy to calculate the rotation_distance for common lead screws using the following formula:
	For example, the common "T8 leadscrew" has a rotation distance of 8 (it has a pitch of 2mm and has 4 separate threads).
	Older printers with "threaded rods" have only one "thread" on the lead screw and thus the rotation distance is the pitch of the screw. (The screw pitch is the distance between each groove on the screw.) So, for example, an M6 metric rod has a rotation distance of 1 and an M8 rod has a rotation distance of 1.25.
	Extruder	Extruder
	It's possible to obtain an initial rotation distance for extruders by measuring the diameter of the "hobbed bolt" that pushes the filament and using the following formula: `rotation_distance = <diameter> * 3.14`
	If the extruder uses gears then it will also be necessary to [determine and set the gear_ratio](#using-a-gear_ratio) for the extruder.
	The actual rotation distance on an extruder will vary from printer to printer, because the grip of the "hobbed bolt" that engages the filament can vary. It can even vary between filament spools. After obtaining an initial rotation_distance, use the [measure and trim procedure](#calibrating-rotation_distance-on-extruders) to obtain a more accurate setting.
	Using a gear_ratio	Verwendung von gear_ratio
	Setting a `gear_ratio` can make it easier to configure the `rotation_distance` on steppers that have a gear box (or similar) attached to it. Most steppers do not have a gear box - if unsure then do not set `gear_ratio` in the config.
