//Manual homing switch locations: #define MANUAL_HOME_POSITIONS // MANUAL_*_HOME_POS below will be used // For deltabots this means top and center of the Cartesian print volume. #define MANUAL_X_HOME_POS 0 #define MANUAL_Y_HOME_POS 0 #define MANUAL_Z_HOME_POS 250 // For delta: Distance between nozzle and print surface after homing.

Then the effector switch is used for ABL only?
I downloaded Marlin 1.1 today and see if I can make it work. My 1.02 delta version had no ABL-section....

Is there a special branch of marlin, that works best for deltas? I´ve also seen Rich Catells Marlin branch but the files were 2 years old?!

Yes, the effector switch is ABL only, and in that case, the fixed parameters you quoted get it close, and probing 'dials it in'.
This works with 1.0.3 . . . I never bothered with 1.0.2 myself . . .

You have Johann's fork of Marlin which used to track the main Marlin development tree, but did not incorporate Rich Cattell's autocalibration.
Then I believe Johann's code was completely merged into Marlin (I am not 100% sure about that, though). Unfortunately as far as I know Rich Cattell's branch was never merged into mainline Marlin.
I started working on merging Rich's fork with Johann's fork and have a github repository for that work (just check under AndrewBCN on GitHub). It needs more testing but I haven't had time to work on it lately.
The idea is to merge this fork into mainline Marlin and Marlin4Due (32 bits) some time in the future... when I have time.

Then I´m in trouble, because my nozzle is the probe.
I`m using this effector, which is a clean and easy solution without servo and allen key hack. ( If I can make it work with marlin )
I tested the "S1" option and the steppers started to stutter a bit, when I triggered the endstop, but they didn´t stop ( Marlin 1.03 dev )
I hoped this would be a clever way to measure the nozzle/bed distance after G28-homing.
I`ll try to issue a fake G29 ABL and see, if the probe switch is setup correctly.
