Quotedc42 To fix that problem, decrease the delta radius setting in whatever firmware you are using. A good starting point is to decrease the delta radius by twice the excess height at the centre of the bed compared to the edges. Does it matter if the print head rises near the edge and almost touches it at the centre? PS I got the motors to stop whining. Thanks!by andychang28 - Delta Machines
Lots of snow here today. I can't open my door... Anyway, I've found yet another issue with my printer-when I use manual control to move the print end on the x and y axis, it moves a bit on the z axis as well. Basically, whenever I move the hotend away from the center, it moves up. Assuming I have to calibrate the x-y axes, but I haven't figured out how to do so yet. Any advice? Thanks, and fingerby andychang28 - Delta Machines
Sorry for the week-long wait guys, I've been cramming for schoolwork recently. The extruder motor turns and pushes the plastic fine, the problem is that once it gets to the hotend the plastic stops moving. Then the extruder starts skipping steps. Hope I get some time to poke around with the printer soon. Thanks!by andychang28 - Delta Machines
Thanks everyone, I found out why the hot end was crashing into the print bed. It turns out my steps per mm was way too high, and for every 10mm I told the printer to move it actually moved about 23mm. Anyway, now I'm trying to get the extruder to push the plastic out the nozzle. I can make plastic melt and come out of the hot end by manually pushing it through, but if the extruder motor tries tby andychang28 - Delta Machines
By the way, if your configuration.h file is working well, can you send me a copy of it? It would be a great help.by andychang28 - Delta Machines
Thanks for the reply stibbons, I'm away from home right now but I should be able to try changing the current soon. As for the G0 F8000 X0 Y0 Z0 command, how exactly do you give the printer the command? Andrewby andychang28 - Delta Machines
Hi everyone, Before I begin, this is my first post, so please correct me in any violation of protocols. I am building a Rostock Mini Pro, which I purchased several weeks ago from 3dPrinterCzar. I have finished the mechanical and electrical parts, and the only issues that remain are in the software. My priority target for now is the fact that my printer does not seem to know when its hot enby andychang28 - Delta Machines
