Hi Guys -
First post here, but I've been consuming tons and tons of info from this forum, thanks for the great resource.
At any rate, I finished building my first printer, based on dc42's large delta printer design. The only differences are that I have magball arms, an E3D Cyclops hotend, I used one of the remixes on Thingiverse for the carriage trucks, and I came up with a design to spring load the bed.
The reason I went the route I did was because I don't have a 3D printer, nor does anyone I know, so I paid 3dhubs to have the carriage trucks and the IR sensor mount printed, and those were the only printed parts I needed to assemble this. After it was up and running, I was able to print some smaller parts, like custom endstop mounts, and the spring holders for the bed. Unfortunately, the Chinese sellers on ali don't offer CAD files so I couldn't model them and figure out a precise Delta Radius number.
After quite a bit of calibration, and searching the duet forum furiously, I have come to find that my main problem was my Delta Radius number was slightly off causing my effector to move in a convex motion. I have it working better, not perfect, but at least it's not pushing into the glass so much that it stops material from being extruded.
My main question is, how do I compensate for the off centered hotend, or can I even, or do I even need to? Do I need to have a new effector with the hotend centered? I can post whatever files needed and pictures. Perhaps I've been chasing my own tail too long, and I don't know which way is up any longer.
I've attached my config.g, and the style of effector I use is this one
Effector. If anyone sees any glaring oversights, please let me know.
Thanks -
Jay
