Quotedocpayce @Gingerbreadman: I dont understand what you mean by importing corrections? Do you refer to a G30 command running slow? Or do you refer to Repetier host height map? If the latter - its kinda jerky. You will want to go sure that Repetier host software finished every command (none in the buffer) and knows the actual position (i.e. dont open the height map window until everything has sby Gingerbreadman - Delta Machines
Joris, I've really been pleased with my Folger tech build, and very happy I went with a delta. I can't speak to the Sintron since my experience is so limited but I can say that my Folger rev.b has been a solid build so far. Build size exaggeration seems to be the norm. I over obsessed about size when I first started. I have since come to realize it will take quite some time to master the pby Gingerbreadman - Delta Machines
Murphy strikes. I'm currently running a series of decent prints, no serious issues. Then out of the blue, when I go to print the effector drops to the bed while moving off center towards a tower base and crashes into the bed. I tried resetting repetier host, and turning the printer on and off to no avail. Using repetier host v1.61, firmware 92.8 ,slicer3. OK weird , I switched to Cura andby Gingerbreadman - Delta Machines
I've run a bed bump map successfully a couple of times, it ran just like in the youtube videos. Finally, I decided to attempt to import the corrections, but now on the last few attempts to run, it aborted and crashed repetier before completing. The program ran excruciationly slow before crashing midway through the scan. Not sure what's changed, or more likely what I'm doing/not doing that migby Gingerbreadman - Delta Machines
Quotepaul_delta So, check your z-probe wiring - it must be Low in normal condition and High when triggered. Make sure you connected it to Z-min pins. Just as you suggested I had the zprobe wires fliipped, the build manuel had a special note about red to center pin, but doesn't explicitly state the direction of the black wire to the outside .

Question about wiring up the cooling fan for a new e3d (v6) hotend fan. My first hotend (now departed) had its fan wired per folgertech instructions, through the board not directly to the 12 v power .

Yes, that's what I thought, since both Min and Max are commented out (with // ) is there any other configuration.H code I could address that might help solve the g29 issue?

Thanks for the quick feedback.

Can I ask the merits of your method for connecting the Rev B induction sensor, besides sounding a lot simpler. Are there any relative drawbacks/compromises? Just looking for a better understanding.

My apologies Sevn L . Despite (or because of) reading through the entire thread twice I missed yours being an A build. I hope I did not create too much confusion as that was certainly not my intent.by Gingerbreadman - Delta Machines
For Rev. B inductive sensor wiring . I think I know what is going on with your wiring. That extra cable is intended to be cut. You use the small female end for connecting to your board, the other female end (the one in your pic is not used) First you strip back some of that thick black cable coming from your inductive bed sensor, then you solder the two resisters, I think 10k&15k ohm,by Gingerbreadman - Delta Machines
