This is what the tutorial has set: Next, set up the following buttons/scripts in Pronterface that will move the effector to the following locations: 1.Tower A (front left): G0 F8000 X-77.94 Y-45 Z0 2.Tower B (front right): G0 F8000 X77.94 Y-45 Z0 3.Tower C (rear): G0 F8000 X0 Y90 Z0 4.Centre: G0 F8000 C0 Y0 Z0 Does this work for our priby Koenig - Delta Machines
Links for the firmwares I mentioned if you would like to take a look at it: For Smoothie. And for Marlin. It can't be that uncommon to see this issue if both of them include ways to adjusting the tower offset.by Koenig - Firmware - mainstream and related support
Quotedc42 If you are getting different X and Y sizes, yet the auto calibration is giving you the correct heights all over the bed, then I think there is something significant is wrong with your build. I suspect that you may find that your X:Y size ratio may depend on the size of the print you do and/or the position of the print on the bed. You could try printing calibration cubes of different sizby Koenig - Firmware - mainstream and related support
I have been taking a look at how other firmwares ( Marlin and smoothie, the pull request) have implemented their autocalibration and they have a delta tower offset calibration in their variants, I was wondering why choose to not have such a feature.

Quoteshadowphile Hi Dave. Been using the Duet/delta firmware and starting to get some very nice looking parts, best ever in fact! (after endlessly dialing in the print settings) Two questions: 1) My dimensions seem to be a hair off; would this be caused by the wrong rod length? Is the entire scale of the model off, or is the dimensions off? A printed cube, is it off by the same amount in bothby Koenig - Firmware - mainstream and related support

QuoteShepard48 Okay, I have been experimenting with the Z probing last days but I could not get reasonable results. I will do the calibration by the 2nd link that Koenig posted. Thanks for that. You can download this fork of marlin, it already has the necessary lines added in the right places. I noted that the main-fork of marlin also uses this system as a part in their auto-calibration.by Koenig - Printing
Quotesungod3k Hey, I just received my Duet and I have a 5V regulator from replikeo as well but they dont have a guide on how to install it. From the foto I can see how it is wired, but does that mean I just have one 12V PSU goinf over the regulator into the main power terminal and thats it? and can I still plug in a normal USB cable to program the board without risking interference on the 5Vby Koenig - Controllers
I have/had similar problem (one of my towers is slightly closer to the bed than the others but still have the right angle) when I used Marlin, although not so obvious, I could correct the issue following the instructions and adding the lines of code from this page, did not use the test-object from that page as I had other issues which would not allow me to print it properly, but I used the objecby Koenig - Printing

Quotedavidf01 So this is what I have going on. I load a sliced model in pronterface. Heat the bed to 200 and the hotend to 65 (printing PLA) and click print. Once the hotend and bed get to the right temperature it sounds like the printer starts to print but all I get is small pulses and no movement from the printer. It just sits there and pulses forever. I'm not sure what else I can check? Hereby Koenig - Delta Machines

Quotedc42 0.118 deviation after autocal isn't very good, you should be aiming for 0.05mm or less. The deviation could be caused by the trigger height varying with XY position. This is how I check mine: 1. Heat the bed and hot end to operating temperature. 2. Move the effector to one of the XY coordinates used for bed probing. 3.
