Layers don't need to be an even number of steps

I’m not sure where this urban myth comes from, but it keeps cropping up here on the forum. If the layer position is off by half a step, then every layer will be off by the same amount. The error does not accumulate. The z axis has 2560 steps per mm, so any layer thickness error is very small indeed.

An error of 0.001% in every layer means an error of 0.001% in overall height, not an error multiplied by the number of layers.

People seem to ignore the fact that the x and y axes are only 62.25 steps per mm. Yet nobody ever says the we should only print things that are an even number of steps in x and y.

I tried to understand this problem, too.
Well, i actually use calculated ideal layer heights, but i never got any problems not using ideal layer heights.
Well, i think you are right. Probably just a myth or not necessary anymore.
