After you extract Marlin zip file (https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/archive/1.1.x.zip) you will have a directory called "Marlin-1.1.x". Copy: Marlin-1.1.x/Marlin/example_configurations/delta/Anycubic/Kossel/Configuration.h Marlin-1.1.x/Marlin/example_configurations/delta/Anycubic/Kossel/Configuration_adv.h To (replacing what's already there): Marlin-1.1.x/Marlin/Configuration.h Marlin-1by thehankinator - Delta Machines
It says 4000 steps/mm on the Z. That doesn't sound like a delta to me. Are you sure you copied the correct configuration.h and configuration_adv.h files to the appropriate location before you built and uploaded the firmware?by thehankinator - Delta Machines
Are you able to communicate with the Trigorilla with something like Pronterface (send something like M115)?by thehankinator - Delta Machines

Quoteheavy9 An error pop out every time I tried to do it error compiling to Arduino mega/arduino mega 2560 always pop up.Any solutions?Is that the exact error message?by thehankinator - Delta Machines
Quoteheavy9 Now i'm still struggling on finding the correct firmware for my printer.This the previous thread. I'd start with one of the Marlin examples you mentioned. Probably the Kossel Mini one then go from there. Just replace the default configuration.h and configuration_adv.h with the ones in the example build and upload.by thehankinator - Delta Machines
Looks like you are making good progress! I think that extruder should be fine. I am using one of those red cheapo Creality style extruders and I would much prefer to have something that has more pushing power like what you have (assuming it isn't a bad clone...)by thehankinator - Delta Machines
Seems like it's looking for the Arduino IDE. Did you install that? IMO if you are using an arduino(or other AVR) it'd be easier to just open the Marlin .ino file with Arduino IDE and build/upload from there.by thehankinator - Delta Machines
Is the rod length the only thing you changed between the two printers? Did you use the same gcode file on both printers?by thehankinator - Delta Machines
It is certainly the path of least resistance if you already have a RAMPS installed.by thehankinator - Delta Machines
I am using a Re-Arm + ESP8266. Before I got the ESP I just connected up my RRD full graphics display and it worked fine but the ESP with the web interface is really nice.by thehankinator - Delta Machines
I'm running RepRapFirmware on an LPC1768 with my delta no problem. There are limitations with the LPC port but machine type is not one of them. I highly recommend stopping by the discord channel, in the LPC port post . Everyone there has been super helpful to get people's printers up and running (including delta).by thehankinator - Delta Machines
QuoteAlgie99 These are the configs I am using at the moment. These came from Da Hai Zhu's calibration tutorial on Youtube. They were matched up with Marlin 1.1.9 from Chris's Basement as every other version I downloaded was missing menu items used in the above tutorial. I compared your config to mine when I ran 1.1.9 and nothing jumps out at me as wrong. Are you downloading the official Marlby thehankinator - Delta Machines
Are you able to share your config?by thehankinator - Delta Machines
What kind of bed leveling method is setup? Does it spit out any kind of error message after you run G29? I never had good luck with Bed leveling in Marlin...by thehankinator - Delta Machines
Does the probe work if you use FIX_MOUNTED_PROBE type and manually deploy the probe? Have you checked that the probe and endstops behave as expected with M119? It seems unlikely that an SKR will solve your problems unless you use it to move to a new firmware (like ReprapFirmware). If you stick with Marlin 2.X, it should work, the presets worked for me (as in they compiled and auto-calibrate did iby thehankinator - Delta Machines
Allen key probe should work fine for auto calibrate. QuoteAlgie99When running auto-calibrate, the effector heads for the z tower ( x0, y,0 z100 not y30 if deploying probe) and slowly descends and then errors before reaching the bed. What's the error it gives? I've had this happen to me when the DELTA_HEIGHT was too small or NOZZLE_TO_PROBE_OFFSET is way off (z value in particular). QuoteAlgie99by thehankinator - Delta Machines
I'm glad to hear you got it working, enjoy.by thehankinator - Delta Machines
Hmm that sounds like you may have the motors and endstops mixed up. I would verify your cabling that the motor on the X tower is wired to the X port on your controller. Same for Y and Z. Might as well do the same for your endstops - X tower, zmax, etc. If they are mixed up the controller could think the wrong motor has hit the an endstop and keep going.by thehankinator - Delta Machines
Hmmm that really looks like the same issue that was discussed in this thread but you have TMC drivers so it seems like they shouldn't be that bad. When you upgraded to Marlin 2.0.5.4 did you also upgrade your controller? Anything change in your config file when you updated? What version of Marlin did you upgrade from? What microstepping do you have your TMC drivers set to?by thehankinator - Delta Machines
I dig up the Repetier config for Max v2. It doesn't seem apples to apples but I think DELTA_RADIUS could be derived from this section of the Repetier config: #define DELTA_DIAGONAL_ROD 291.06 // ball cup arms #define DELTA_MAX_RADIUS 145.0 #define PRINTER_RADIUS 200.0 #define Z_MAX_LENGTH 350 #define END_EFFECTOR_HORIZONTAL_OFFSET 30.22 #define CARRIAGE_HORIZONTAL_OFFSET 26.5 // molded cheapskby thehankinator - Delta Machines
That's typically caused by an incorrect DELTA_RADIUS value. Try I don't know much about Repetier so I don't know if the values from that configuration are apples to apples to Marlin. Have you run auto-calibration in Marlin(G33) yet?by thehankinator - Delta Machines
As hercek mentioned it depends on your parts. If you don't want to do the work to figure it out yourself, just buy a 12v 25a (300watts) supply. By my guess it might be 50-75 watts over what you may need but you would only know that by doing the math.by thehankinator - Delta Machines
I agree it's the future but in my experience programming an Arduino or other AVR chip it's much easier to set up. It's still supported by Marlin so it still has its uses IMOby thehankinator - Delta Machines
You will need PlatformIO unless you are using an Arduino. Instructions for using the Arduino IDE are hereby thehankinator - Delta Machines
I did it with RepRapFirmware but there should be a way to do it with Marlin. I probed the points right in front of the towers with G30 then manually adjusted the endstops with M666 until they were within about .05mm. It took 3 or 4 iterations to get there. Then I used 6 factor calibration for G32. I also ran bed leveling with G29. I'm not sure G30 works the same in Marlin. For example if I adjusby thehankinator - Delta Machines
Just about any firmware supports a delta but if you want to use Marlin there are example configs for Kosselby thehankinator - Delta Machines
I could never get auto calibration to give me good results. What I eventually figured out was the endstop calibration isn't that great without probeing well outside the print area. After I physically moved the endstops to be as close as possible to the seame height, I manually calibrated the endstops (M666). Then I ran auto calibration in a mode that calibrates everything except endstops. I had mby thehankinator - Delta Machines
