Hello All, I’m having trouble getting KAMP to work with my delta. I’ve followed the instructions and got all configs in place but when I try and print I get the following error Error evaluating 'gcode_macro BED_MESH_CALIBRATE:gcode': jinja2.exceptions.UndefinedError: 'dict object' has no attribute 'probe_count' I think its cause a delta probe command is ‘round_probe_count’ and not ‘probe_coby Mils24 - Delta Machines
Suppose that makes a lot of sense. New part have been ordered and I will get on to designing my new effector and sliding carriage parts. Ill come back and update in a few weeks once I get everything done.by Mils24 - Delta Machines
Interesting that you have said that. Why would you go this ways as opposed to having the ball on the end of the rod? I have seen those Hayden Huntley arms a few times when searching about magnetic delta arms but I must say my initial thought was always to have the balls on the rods and the magnets on the end effector. I have ordered a few other bits today however to increase the magnetic forceby Mils24 - Delta Machines
oh that's a very interesting idea. I will certainly keep that in mind if my magnetic set up does not work. You now have me concerned that it is going to be a total disaster!!by Mils24 - Delta Machines
Yet again thanks thehankinator, Im fairly confident that my rods are pretty good. On my original delta (Kickstarter kit) I had endless problems with my rods so Im quite familiar with bad rods. On this build I have used Traxxas rod end bearings. To ensure minimal slop I bought 2 packets a used the best 12 of them all. So far they are pretty good. However saying that I do have a set of magnets andby Mils24 - Delta Machines
Thanks thehankinator that was super information and very helpful!! I have had a go at the escher3D calibration tool on my own delta as I no longer have access to the FLSUN machine in the image original post image. From my stock firmware values to two iterations of escher3D I went from a SD of 0.3 to <0.04. I then ran my test print (a series of 20mm circles around the bed) and this time theby Mils24 - Delta Machines
Thanks for the reply the hankinator, I did look at going back to 1.1.9 as I had seen a few people saying that it worked but unfortunately I don't think it works with the MKS boards. Ive also been following a few threads about ABL not working. You may see a familiar username in them as my own delta is also suffering from no ABL along with my friends in this post above. I was prioritising gettingby Mils24 - Delta Machines
Hello All, Long story short.. I am trying to help my friend with his FLSUN QQS first layer problems. I have been printing for a long time and have tried everything I can possibly think of but still it is not working. The problem is the first layer bed adhesion is very sporadic. Initially the printer was working fine and now its not. After two to three weeks of 'troubleshooting' this is theby Mils24 - Delta Machines
Cheers Dust, you have just made me remember my vital flaw!! Problem now fixed. What happened - I had originally used FAN_PIN for connecting the part cooling fans but could not get them to work/spin. This is why I then moved to the HEATER_1_PIN in the hope that it would work however they didn't initially. Therefore I swapped my two JST pins around realising that the polarity of the pins must of bby Mils24 - Controllers
Hello All, I’ve tried searching the forums and endless googling and I’m still stuck, so I’ve resorted to this for help. In short - I don’t know how to add software (slicer) controlled part cooling fans on my MKS SBASE 1.3 board running Marlin 2.0.5.2. I’ve a homemade delta with dual part cooling fans on the end effector. I have my fans connected to P2_06 E1 Heater and also FAN_AUTO_ON set to Hby Mils24 - Controllers
Prints speeds of 120mm/s????? I've never got successful results above 60mm/s and that's with an Ultimaker 2 and that's only even for infill. Walls always 30-40mm/s max! Travel speeds would be 120mm/s howeverby Mils24 - Delta Machines
Quotedc42 My 2p worth: - I agree with attaching the belt centrally in the carriage if you have the choice. - The spacing between diagonal rods is a compromise. Larger gives more stability; but it also increases the size of the effector (unless it needs to be large for other reasons), which reduces build space because the nozzle can't get as close to the towers. We chose 55mm for the Duet3D smarby Mils24 - Delta Machines
Quotehercek If you want more opinions then here you go: Belt centered is slightly better (especially as for as bearing/rod wear goes). As for as predictability of backslash due to off center belt: It will also depend on how much off-center the belt mount is, the position of the head over the build platform, the current acceleration forces and friction between hotend and the part. I do not think iby Mils24 - Delta Machines
dc42 I cannot seem to find them on the Duet3D website, the echer3D website or on think3dprint3d. what section are they in?by Mils24 - Delta Machines
Sorry to sound stupid but how did you work that out? And also what does that mean? Is 1:10 good? My set up will be same belt and pulleys (GT2 2mm + 20 tooth) and my rods will be spaced 55mm apart. There seems to be a real split on belt centered or belt offset. I'm starting to think does it really matter??by Mils24 - Delta Machines
Im pretty sure Haydns are what you are looking for. Go to Thingiverse,search for 'Zero-Backlash Magnetic Ball Joint Rod Ends' and drop Haydn an email.by Mils24 - Delta Machines
etfrench, is that pulleys centred (bottom image in OP) or belt centred (top image in OP)??? Thanksby Mils24 - Delta Machines
dc42, di you have backlash problems with the wheel sliders design before the upgrade? If I am using an 8mm steel rod either side of my tower with the IGUS polymer bearings surely that is the same as having a linear rail?by Mils24 - Delta Machines
So do I keep the side of the belt that is clamped to the sliding carriage centralised on the vertical tower or not guys? As far as I can see the standard kossle style delta machines do not have the belt centralised so it must be ok? Anyone out there built their own machines and know which way is preferred? dc42, your delta does not have centralised belts. From your comment above do you have bby Mils24 - Delta Machines
o_lampe just so I understand you correctly when you say centred you mean my top picture? and when you say not centred you mean my bottom picture? I think I probably have the wording of my picture wrong and it should state pulleys centred and pulley's not centred. So just for clarification you would suggest having the pulleys centred and having the belts slightly off centre, correct? Rotatingby Mils24 - Delta Machines
Hi, Number40fan, I really don't know what you mean? Firstly, the motor is not centralised in both occasions. In the top image the motor is offset half the diameter of the pully and in the bottom image it is centralised. Secondly, Im not intending to switch my motor mounts but how can rotating them 90deg help? how would that even work with GT2 belts? surly you would have to switch to string or sby Mils24 - Delta Machines
Hello All, Looking for some advice on delta build design. Does it matter if the belt is centralised on he vertical tower or if the top and bottom pulley is centralised on the tower? Please see image for better explanation. My original thoughts were that the belt should be centralised so that the sliding carriage would get an even pull on them. However it is causing some issues with my buby Mils24 - Delta Machines

Hello guys, I have been wrecking my brain all weekend over this and cannot get my printer to work. I have just recently updated my firmware from a very old version (not sure of the number but it was complied in 2014) to the latest 0.92.9. My main reason for doing that was that I needed to configure a new thermistor type for my E3D V6 clone as my old firmware did not have the NTC 3950 100K optioby Mils24 - Repetier

Hello Guys, ITS WORKING!! Seems that having the M82 command before the G92 E0 after the purge made all the difference. Special thanks to DjDemonD and o_lampeby Mils24 - Delta Machines
I used to have this machine running off Cura fine before updating to Cura 2.5. I would highly doubt that Cura have changed their G-Code style between releases. The G-Code outputted by Cura is Absolute E values therefore M82 however when I send the M82 command my extruder does not work. To get my extruder to move at all I need to send the M83 command. Therefore as the G-Code is absolute I thoughtby Mils24 - Delta Machines
Non circular circles is a tell tale sign of slack belts or improperly tightened belts. How much adjustment do you have on them? Try tightening them and trying again. With Delta style printers the centre is the most 'forgiving' zone. Any issues there are with the printer due to firmware or mechanical discrepancies will be magnified at the edges.by Mils24 - Delta Machines
Hi Guys, So I haven't been back to this in a few days but today I tried again...... still no luck.... .....but I have some more details for you now. So I am running Repetier 0.92 It was working 100% until I recently upgraded to Cura 2.5 so that I can run my delta and Ultimaker 2 off the same software.
