Here is another tool to auto-calibrate Delta with Repetier firmware: Please share your experience.by paul_delta - Delta Machines
Looks very good, so all issues are not related to magnet joints. Thanks for sharing. Quotedocpayce Quotepaul_delta Any experience printing at 100mm/s? Tried it out today, printing at 120 mm/s (that is all interior stuff, exterior perimeter is printed at 80 mm/s). Worked with minor issues: The slightest rounding of the edges is visible - as expected. Could solve that with higher acceleration/jeby paul_delta - Delta Machines
Looks nice. Do you lubricate magnet joints? Any experience printing at 100mm/s? Quotedocpayce And just in general, I had the chance to compare generic (Traxxas end) rods to magnet rods, as I had to reprint some broken part. Check it out:by paul_delta - Delta Machines
Quotemeq123 Aggh. The Rev B manual that *I* just downloaded says 230mm for bolt-hole to bolt-hole. Which is correct?? (It would be REALLY nice if they put a version number in their manuals, too!) My rods are still 230mm. The max. print diameter is only 158mm, that's why they changed recommended length to 240mm - to use the table more effectively.by paul_delta - Delta Machines
QuoteLegrand In order for the scaling to be correct, the center to center distance of the arms should be 240mm. As you increase the length of the arms your prints will come out small and you will have to scale up as you decrease the length of the arms, the prints will come out large and you will have to scale down. You can make the arms as long as you want, it just screws up the prints. You areby paul_delta - Delta Machines
QuoteUncleSas Did you go to a magnetically attached mechanical Z probe on an earlier version of this printer, or was that someone else? I use my own magnetically attached probe holder with adapter that allows to use inductive probe on any surface (see my Thingiverse link). PS: try to attach the probe directly to endstop connector (+5V to brown, - to blue, and black to S).by paul_delta - Delta Machines
Your probe works but looks like RAMPS gets wrong signal level. I guess something wrong with your voltage divider (resistors). QuoteUncleSas QuoteCaptain_Tim No problem. The Z-probe still reports high if it is touching the aluminum? It's always High? If it's always High, then something must be wrong with the wiring. It's always high when I do M119.

I use regular blue-tip inductive probe that comes with Rev.B kit. Check your wiring and resistors or try to connect it directly to RAMPS as discussed in this thread.

I said to check it for 36C in your hand not just for fun - if thermistor resistance is not around 60 kOhm when heated to 36C - it is not NTC 100k compatible and thermistor model and/or temperature table need adjustment. Quotefredw They both show change when heated. I used a temperature controlled heat gun and quickly got each of them to 80K Ohms. I watched the resistance climb as they cooled dowby paul_delta - Delta Machines
Test your thermistor with multimeter for different temperatures. The "standard" 100k thermistor resistance will change if you will warm it in your hand - from around 100k Ohm to 60k Ohm (25C to 36C).

PS: if you want to manage both fans using firmware commands, you can fuy RAPMS fan extender for $5-6.by paul_delta - Delta Machines
In my 0.92.6configuration only hotend fan connected to RAMPS pin 9 (ORIG_FAN_PIN). This way firmware turns the fan only if hotend temperature greater than EXTRUDER_FAN_COOL_TEMP. You can re-configure your setup and run hotend fan directly from PSU (always On) and use 9 pin for filament fan. In this case you can use slicer commands to turn fan on/off when needed (depending on layer height for examby paul_delta - Delta Machines
Same here. These cartesian epileptic moving tables drive me crazy QuoteZoolander06 A lot of people told me about the Prusa I3, but I have to say that I kind of dislike this design.

For high speed printing I increase overlap sometimes to 50%-80%, but it depends on filament type, temperature, etc. Quotepaul_delta PS: also you can play with perimeter/infill overlap parameter in your slicer (slic3r and Sliplify3D have this option, don't know about Cura).by paul_delta - Delta Machines
Actually, I'm sure you can use this part as is. These gaps will not affect the performance. But check your extrusion width anyway and calibrate it for 2-3 speed values and write it down for future use. QuoteCaptain_Tim I will redo my extrusion width calibration. Then I'll reprint the part. It is still fairly solid though. Quotepaul_delta Looks like underextrusion. Did you calibrate your extrusiby paul_delta - Delta Machines

Looks like underextrusion. Did you calibrate your extrusion with? If so, probably you did it at at much lower speed. Probably the speed was too high for this print.

Very strange, G30 shouldn't return such kind of error. Definitely something wrong with your settings or Eeprom.

You have to reset eeprom completely after switching from marlin. Load default eeprom settings, save them back to eeprom and enter your values again. Without probe - did you pass the paper test when G28 and G1 X0 Y0 Z0? Are you sure that your z height is correct?

You need to adjust Horizontal rod radius and Z max. length - in Repetier Host Config-Eeprom menu. If you calibrated your printer previously in Marlin - you can just use your old values and transfer them via Eeprom menu. Diagonal radius in Marlin is Horizontal radius in Repetier.

No need to configure it from scratch - use my configuration that you can find in the footer of this message. Use it as is (the whole archive) or just take the configuration.h file, upload it to repetier configurator and adjust for your needs.by paul_delta - Delta Machines

There is something is wrong with your settings, as I said, check your Eeprom, make sure that your Z max and z-probe offset from the hotend tip is correct. Check if your z-probe returns correct condition when triggered.
