Hi! Long time I've been reading silently in this forum, but now I have a problem I can't fix myself. Trying to use my whole printbed doesn't seem to be as easy for me. Printing small object like benchy seems fine, but when using the whole bed it gets messy. What I'm trying to print (calibration object): [attachment 115683 slic3r.jpg] What the fist layer looks like: [attachment 115680 FirstLayer.jpg] [attachment 115681 FirstLayercloseup.jpg] I'm using the Auto Delta Calibration from webinterface which should negate bed problems, but it isn't. Here's the output: [attachment 115682 AutoDeltaCalibration.jpg] Here my Slic3r settings (from the gcode): [justpaste.it] Why won't the auto calibration work? What am I doing wrong?

Superglue fixed it long enough to print some replacements, as the idler broke on both towers facing the front 8-)
Print now looks a lot better,

Nozzle is too far from the bed near X-Tower and too close between Y and Z, but as I made adjustments to the X-endstop-offset in the last couple of days (to counter my "problem") I guess that reverting this will give me a smooth print. Didn't have time for that yesterday though.

Thanks again to pointing me in the right direction!]]> honuvo Fisher Wed, 27 May 2020 03:11:17 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?409,872978,872997#msg-872997 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?409,872978,872997#msg-872997 Oooooh, I see what you mean. I'm still using the default rods (acrylic). You mean maybe one slips a little while the nozzle touches the bed? Will give it a look as soon as I get home. Tightening the skrew on the rod would make it clamp harder and make for a better grip but increases chance of breaking, right?]]> honuvo Fisher Mon, 25 May 2020 04:59:44 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?409,872978,872992#msg-872992 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?409,872978,872992#msg-872992 dc42 Fisher Mon, 25 May 2020 02:16:29 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?409,872978,872978#msg-872978 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?409,872978,872978#msg-872978 Long time I've been reading silently in this forum, but now I have a problem I can't fix myself.

Why won't the auto calibration work? What am I doing wrong?
