Delta printer prints too big in x and y axes, z is ok - SOLVED
-
Hi folks, I'm having a problem google can't help me with.
I just got my first 3D printer, a dirt cheap used delta, looks like a FLSUN.Z axes is fine but X and Y is printing about 6% too big.
I tried entering GCode M655 Lxxx changing rod lengths in both Repetier Host and as first line of printer settings in Cura. Changing the rod length from 180 to 250 (Measured to about 220) makes no difference. I allso tried entering M579 X1.0940 Y0.940 as first GCode lines in Cura but with no effect.
I'm really stuck here, can anybody help me here?
Edit:
Factory firmware was locked and did not respond to any changes. Updated firmware and was able to calibrate. Works fine now

Well you have increased the size on X and reduced it on Y.
That command should work - it is aimed as addressing your issue on printers like yours.

Just a typo, I entered M579 X0.940 Y0.940. It seems like the printer is not responding on any attempts to change the settings. Both changing the set rod lengths and scaling axes should work but my attempts makes no difference at all.

Thanx
It wouldn't respond to any commands. I got in touch with a black belt in printing who said the factory firmware locked us out. He installed new firmware and now I'm able to make changes
