Need help with Delta Config settings
-
I am in the process of building a new Delta printer and need some help with my settings. Here are the specs:
- 400.3mm Haydn Magnetic Arms
- Duet smart effector (and associated linear carriages)
- Bed size - 340mm
- Build Height is 840mm
Everything is wired up and I can run the calibration G32 (Here is a vid).
I haven't added an extruder yet, but I would appreciate some affirmation that my settings are correct.
Thanks for your help.

Are you using the RRF config tool?
If so, post the .json file (which is included in the .zip it produces) and we can all take a look.
Also, what Duet board are you using, which firmware revision and post your current config.g here if you are not using the RRF config tool (which you should use.)

@alankilian Yes, I did use the Configuration Tool, But I was bit confused about certain values:
- Delta Radius ?
- Minimum Z ?
- Homed Height ?
- Printable Radius (340/2 I think)?
- Diagonal Rod length (400.3)
- Maximum Carriage Travel (840?)
I'm using a Duet WIFI 2, and updated Firmware through DWC last night to most current. I'll provide the JSON when I get home from work tonight if that helps.
Thanks,

See this page - all the details are given for the M665 and M666
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Calibrating_a_delta_printerI'd suggest setting the height rather short to start with & get the homing and axis directions working correctly first.
Once that's done, you can increase the height by however much above the bed the nozzle is when the Z is at the initial zero height.

@rjenkinsgb Thanks, I did follow that page and I have the printer homing and running the G32 calibration just fine (please open the vid I originally posted). I just wanted to make sure that the #'s I entered in the config tool were correct and I would get accurate prints.

OK sorry, I missed that bit..If you create a heightmap (G29), does that look correct?
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Using_mesh_bed_compensationIf it's showing flat rather than peaks or troughs near the towers, you can be pretty sure the calibration is OK
