Re: Delta autolevel with marlin - 9 years ago
Quotedc42 Delta firmwares provide the M666 command so that you don't need adjusting screws on the homing switches. Now I'm not 100% about this but what I get from following the FolgerTech thread (started out myself with this kit) is that the "provided" firmware from FT is an early Marlin which lacks support for M666. As I said not 100% about that though, I actually never tried with the FT firmwaby Koenig - Delta Machines

Re: Higher Step-Count motors? - 9 years ago
On this page: David changed from 1.8 to 0.9 degree steppers and made a comparison, if you look at the pictures you can clearly see a difference, a small one but it's there. So if there's not much difference in price between 1.8 and 0.9 steppers I would get the latter if I was building from scratch. Is it worth to "upgrade" due to the difference, probably not.by Koenig - Reprappers

Re: Has any one built the Micromake printer? - 9 years ago
Quoteaimatt When it does the autolevel, it does it like 4-5 inches over the bed. Shouldn't it do it near bed level so it can detect slopes? I think you need to calibrate the printer and find out the Z-probe offset before you can do any auto bed leveling.by Koenig - Delta Machines

Re: Rostock Mini, problem with print dimensions - 9 years ago
Here are 2 ways to approach the problem: Dimension correction via individual tower-radius Dimension correction via individual rod lengths So you need to identify why your dimensions are off, either your towers are not correctly positioned or your diagonal rods are not equally long. However, both those way only works on Marlin, I have not seen/come across anything similar for Repetier. But I guby Koenig - Delta Machines

Quotefattmann Quotedc42 It sounds like you have either 0.9deg/step motors or DRV8825 driver modules. Either way, doubling the steps/mm to 160 and halving the Z home height should fix it, although Marlin on RAMPS will struggle at higher movement speeds. If the drivers are DRV8825 then you can probably change the jumpers to get 16x instead of 32x microstepping. I Don't understand how to force theby Koenig - Delta Machines
