Delta homing issues
December 15, 2015 10:54PM
Hello all, I'm working on the initial setup of my delta and I'm kinda lost. This is my first 3d printer build (first printer as well). Anyhow I'm having issues get it to move correctly and home. I figured a video would be the best way to describe my issues. Not really sure where to start so any advice would be great. The video isn't great unfortunately.Thank you.

Check the endstop.
Manual move the printer to the top and type g code

M119

It should say the x y z max endstop are triggered or high.

Hard to tell but are the motors all moving in the right direction? Looks like 2 of them are moving down rather than up. Try reversing the stepper connection if they are moving in the wrong direction.

Thanks for the replies! I'll do my best to answer them

xile6:
When i lower the carriage so all end stops are open I receive all open when I send m119. When I raise it so that all end stops are closed i receive the following. I hadn't noticed that the z_min value was open when testing before. Would this be caused by the auto-leveling being enabled in my firmware? I'll have to read up on that more but I think for testing i should probably disable auto-leveling since it's more to debug.

18:40:29.981 : Reporting endstop status
18:40:29.981 : x_max: TRIGGERED
18:40:29.985 : y_max: TRIGGERED
18:40:29.985 : z_min: open

Billhc83:
I was thinking the same thing I went through and changed the HOME_DIR flag, as well as the INVERT_(X,Y,Z)_DIR booleans with no effect. I did notice though that while it's still not homing correctly when in repetier pressing z down now moves the entire carriage down when last night it would not (pressing up did though) so there's some progress!

Should i disable the EEPROM while testing? I may save off this version of marlin and start fresh. Below is my config file...

Thank you all for the help!!

It should home to Max 1
The INVERT_X_DIR (x,y,z) should be true for deltas.
You might need to swap your wiring at the board.
The temp sensor should be 1 or 5. 0 means you have no sensor.

And your endstops seem to work.
While up and home they will all say triggered.
While drop down they should all say open.

Z min should read open while its not being touch. And trigger when it touches the bed

The reply above seems to be accurate and sage advice. There is sometimes weirdness though, yesterday on my Kossel Mini only two of the carriage motors would move, the y motor did nothing. So I assume its a stepper driver and swap two over to test this theory but still the same. So I assume its a bad motor, swap this over and it works normally. Now totally confused I put it all back together exactly as it was to start with and all three motors move normally. Then I try auto calibration, as I had changed a nozzle, and it doesn't get anywhere close to a solution even though last time it only took 5 iterations (Rich Cattell's marlin master branch).

I am certain there is an explanation for both of these occurrences but it is not going to reveal itself easily.

Thanks for your help! I followed the corrections you described. I also went into repetier host and found that the travel and z-axis feed rates were set way too low. Now when I click up on Z it moves up better. I'm still having issues with it homing in the correct directions though. I'm beginning to investigate the wiring. The steppers i'm using have 6 pins. I'm using the harness that came with the sainsmart kit and you can see how I've got them attached to the board in the attachment. This looks slightly different than what is on the sainsmart site though. i think i'll need to lookup how to identify the pins on the steppers to confirm that the harness is correct. Any thoughts? Thank you all for the help!

You have the homing direction wrong in your config. You want to home to max. If one motor moves down instead of up, adjust the wiring. You dont want one motor inverted and two not in the firmware. It sounds like you may have some loose pins in the connectors. Make sure they are all firmly seated. They can get pushed out when you connect them and it's hard to notice.

Ok, i've made some progress. I decided to start from scratch with marlin. It seems to be working better. I hold the carriage so that all of the end stops are triggered. I let it down just enough so they are all open. I click home and after it finishes i am able to move the towers (through repetier) down and where ever I want. I click home again though and the towers seem to think they are already at home. basically it hums, then each tower moves down a bit one by one. When I click home it should move all towers back up till they hit the end stops (max) correct? Not sure what else is going on here. Any thoughts. Thanks for your help really appreciate it. I can move this to the firmware section if it's better suited for that forum.
