Gadget man, good progress today, not passing G33 tests yet but that is me at this point. I found your stiffness comment interesting as I am considering making a piece of 1/4” Lexan I have into Y shaped form I can mount across the aluminum top profiles to keep the PLA spool to add weight and keep the foot print small. If I make it fairly large and bolt it on it should add some rigidity. Should Iby NAP1947 - Delta Machines
I have moved the switch in the photo from that position to one where the setting screw is directly over the switch button rather than moving the lever arm. It now registers 312.8mm down to open and up from there .2mm to close again. This is repeatable multiple times with out variance. Now I am working on the upper limits and have them also within .2mm from home to open on all 3 axis. Not sure hby NAP1947 - Delta Machines
My mistake, real picture here. Is there a way to delete that first attachment?by NAP1947 - Delta Machines
I have attached a picture of the Z ENDSTOP limit switch on the effector housing. The other 3 are the same but mounted on the FLSun Kossel uprights. I spent quite a bit of time last night checking the endstops using the M119 command and moving the Z in 1mm increments at both top and bottom of movement. The switches are not repeatable, after Homing the printer all top switches show "triggered".by NAP1947 - Delta Machines
I have the X, Y, Z endstop switches positioned at the top end of the X, Y, Z, posts as per the kit instructions. The Z is the only “Min Endstop” set in order to read when the nozzle touches the print bed.by NAP1947 - Delta Machines
This morning the printer is responding more normally. It confirms M119 at both top and bottom of the Z travel. G33 P1, P2, P5 all complete correctly. G33 P10 works up to the fourth set of test steps counterclockwise from the X upright at point 2 from the outer edge of the base plate it fails. Running M119 show the Z Min failed to close when the nozzle lifted. This is not every time but intermittby NAP1947 - Delta Machines
Here is my link too Condition.h on PasteBin. Lot to go through, I really appreciate the help.by NAP1947 - Delta Machines
Thanks Dust, M119 shows my endstops are working correctly, triggered at the top of the rails, open 1mm down. The extruded is triggered down to 1mm from the base plate and open when it touches.by NAP1947 - Delta Machines
I have posted this in the Delta Printer section under FLSun, slow response there and I realized it might be more appropriate if I stated my situation here. I am using a Mac Mini as my control computer and a USB cable to connect to the FLSun printer which is using a MakerBase MKS GEN l V1.0 combined Mega 2560 and Ramps 1.4 chinese board.

Getting more confused. I have re-installed Arduino, Marling and Repetier and setup them up based on the information that came with the FLSun Kossell and a GitHub article. Once I have uploaded Marlin to the printer board and run M502 and M500, it will successfully run a G33 P1 calibration once. If I try G33 P1 or any other G33 code the printer drops about 50mm (eyeball) and stops the returns toby NAP1947 - Delta Machines
Gecko, thank you for your suggestion, yes I did send M502 and M500 (502 is what I had read, is that wrong?) DLC60, I will need to digest your response and will do so shortly, currently I am having hard drive failure issues and am just getting a backup Mac working. As soon as everything is connected I will work through your directions and let you know the results. Cheersby NAP1947 - Delta Machines
I had my FLSUN Delta working quite well for a beginner up to the point I warped the heated bed. I replaced the thin aluminum bed with a plate of plate aluminum machined to 1/4” and same diameter as original, still heated. Now I am trying to reset Marlin and Repetier to the new Delta Height of 306.9mm which was determined by using the -100, -1 and -0.1 Z control in Repetier. I updated Marlin withby NAP1947 - Delta Machines
