Maybe you have a combination of diagonal rod length and delta radius error, possibly with incorrect steps per mm. These errors can lead to z-height error like this (these may be at the same height, depending where you measure ABC and centre):

If your z-height error is not nicely symmetrical across the 3 axes then position of one of your virtual towers may be wrong too.

hercek, Great graph. Where did you get it? do you know what function was used?

I got it by setting appropriate parameters to this maxima notebook: [github.com]
The notebook contains a "simulator" of influence of delta printer calibration errors on the bed level z-height.
Setting proper parameters to the notebook is just a matter of experience. Play with it and you can do it too.

dc42 indicates that many people confuse sign when entering the errors: [forums.reprap.org]Quote
- Delta printer least-squares calibration calculator (http://escher3d.com/pages/wizards/wizarddelta.php)
The windows version did not work for some people because I used characters α, β, γ (greek alpha, beta, gamma). Open the notebook file with a plain text editor (e.g. gvim) and replace all occurrences of α with "alpha", β with "beta", and γ with "gamma" (without quotation marks). Try to open it again.Quote
But unfortunately I can't open the files (calibration.wxm, towerErrors.wxm)
I've tried with wxMaxima 13.04.2 on Ubuntu, and with 16.04.2 on Windows7
each time I got "wxMaxima encountered an error loading ../hercek/towerErrors.wxm"
