+### Can I find out whether the printer has lost steps?
+
+In a way, yes. Home the printer, issue a `GET_POSITION` command, run
+your print, home again and issue another `GET_POSITION`. Then compare
+the values in the `mcu:` line.
+
+This might be helpful to tune settings like stepper motor currents,
+accelerations and speeds without needing to actually print something
+and waste filament: just run some high-speed moves in between the
+`GET_POSITION` commands.
+
+Note that endstop switches themselves tend to trigger at slightly
+different positions, so a difference of a couple of microsteps is
+likely the result of endstop inaccuracies. A stepper motor itself can
+only lose steps in increments of 4 full steps. (So, if one is using 16
+microsteps, then a lost step on the stepper would result in the "mcu:"
+step counter being off by a multiple of 64 microsteps.)
