G29 on delta below bed

Gary

Hi,
I've been round and round web pages trying to figure out what to do. AC Predator Delta with Duet WiFi installed. I've managed most of the config, but really struggled with G32 and z=0 etc. Just managed it, but now the G29 always gives weird results way below the bed. Any suggestions?

dc42

Please post your config.g and bed.g files.

Your height map looks odd, because for a delta it would normally be circular with the origin at the centre.

Hi, Thanks for having a look. I commented out all loading of the height map as I was having a lot of problems with it.

; Use S-1 for measurements only, without calculations. Use S4 for endstop heights and Z-height only. Use S6 for full 6 factors
; If your Z probe has significantly different trigger heights depending on XY position, adjust the H parameters in the G30 commands accordingly. The value of each H parameter should be (trigger height at that XY position) - (trigger height at centre of bed)

@Gary said in G29 on delta below bed:

G30 P15 X0 Y0 Z-99999 S6

try S7 to see if the rod length is correct.
then try S8 calibration to see of you have a significant tilt.

Gary

Thanks will check out S7. I've put level on it and there's no significant tilt, but again I'll check it out.

Gary

I think dc42 is correct and there's something wrong with the delta "model" in my code. I was thinking of upgrading my other delta to Duet, but it does not seem as easy as it sounds.

@Gary I have a predator running a duet if you still need a hand. Send me a PM if you do

Gary

Problem solved! This has taken months. I checked grub screws, belt teeth…. I had noticed that now and then the hot end juddered when moving to position, but not all the time. The person I bought the machine from had cable tied the hot end cable harness to 1 of the Z motor arms. It was hanging loose and tidied up the harness, as it does tend to flop about on my other machine.
When close to the bed (within 10mm) and only in specific positions it held the arm causing the belt to slip! Also G29 failed most of the time as the probe was not triggered due to the arm being held back. The judder now solved, G29 completes and bed leveling showing a decent graph.
Thanks for your help. (I have learned lots of G code and Duet wiring though)
