Re: Delta Printer Calibration Guide - 8 years ago
Yes the screw you are looking at will adjust belt tension. I meant the one on the top of the carriage contacting the microswitch in the lower middle of this picture. DC42 thank you for showing me that. I was unaware of any worthwhile automatic calibration routines and will be having a good look. Thats kind of the direction I was hoping to go with this eventually as well.by Jochemczyk_&_Ward - Delta Machines
Re: MakerGeeks.com Mini Kossel Kit - Junk! - 8 years ago
I have a Kossel Mini from think3dprint3d and it's an excellent machine. Some parts of it are being upgraded over time, z probe and then extruder so far. But overall it's a decent quality, good value kit. Mine had one little packaging glitch, but it was minor and I didn't bother to raise the issue. I would buy another kit from think3dprint3d happily if I didn't have the ability to print for myby Jochemczyk_&_Ward - Delta Machines
Delta Printer Calibration Guide - 8 years ago
I've noticed that theres a fair few threads about Delta bed calibration so we thought that maybe some of you may benefit from the procedure I use. Theres a spreadsheet attached, the first page is the values we measured calibrating our Kossel mini and the second is blank for you to fill in. All you need is a set of metric feeler gauges. If you've not used them before you gently slide a gauge orby Jochemczyk_&_Ward - Delta Machines

Re: Alien Z Probe with auto deploy and retract - 8 years ago
Deploying the probe is part of the movement routine. The lever at the rear is moved by the post and the probe releases from the magnet. After probing the effector lowers over the retraction post, lifting the probe which is retained by the magnet. It should make sense when you watch the video. The switch is a simple on/off affair. Contact is broken when the probe is lifted by the bed. It isby Jochemczyk_&_Ward - Delta Machines
Re: Alien Z Probe with auto deploy and retract - 8 years ago
If you already have a z probe then all you need to do is connect to the existing wires. You may need to change settings as this probe is closed circuit and contact with the bed makes open circuit but thats just a true/false in config h. If you don't already have a probe it is still no trouble, just let me know what board you have and I'll put some instructions up later.by Jochemczyk_&_Ward - Delta Machines
Alien Z Probe with auto deploy and retract - 8 years ago
Hi Guys thought you might be interested in this z probe we have come up with we made it for the mini kossel from (think3dprint) it would fit other delta printers with a bit of adjustment. If you need it to be adjusted to fit your delta give us the dimensions and we will make the changes for you.by Jochemczyk_&_Ward - Delta Machines
