i messed up my SD card so lost all my config

now i need to get my z probe working and i cant seem to get it to see the bed now
it is detecting as i can see the red light on the probe light up on the dashboard of the software it showing zprobe 0 when it gets near anything it will go up to 530 so its is detecting and software picking it up ....
the z just doesn't stop

but in the config i cant get the gcode right

its an inferred detector connected to the zprobe port next to screen socket where its always been and always worked before i screwed up my SD card with the settings on. below is my config
i remember you used to be able to see the z probe active live now that seems to have been removed in Duet Web Control 3.3.0 so i cant even see if it triggers so i have to do a bed level each time to see if it works all attempts failed so far

i inserted my sd card in to my pc and its now corrupt i had to reformat i used the config tool copied files over try to update firmware and the files upload it says do i want to upgrade to version 3 as i am on 2.04 i say yes

then it tries nut give an error

im trying to set my bed.g file and it keeps saying points 0 to 3 must be clcokwise and the p4 should be near centre but they are

my sensor is off to the right and forward a little so i have to use these values to scan the max area pos

bingo thanks

I know I have one of my motors wired incorrectly but not sure what wires to swap around.

one motor goes up and the other goes down.

I had to replace my plugs on my steppers and now I messed up the cabling

Could it be the tower is too tall at 1000mm

@adavidm it measures a hit when it's sitting still on and off.

@danal said in my delta printer seems to have a mind of its own:

@dmkmedia

The effector IS tilting. It is very clear when the video is played several times. This indicates a problem with the mechanics. Nothing will work until this is cleared up.

Please post a photo of the carriages. There is one very blurry frame where the carriages show... and there seems to be no sign of the carriage adapters. They are the rectangular things in this photo.

They are not fitted as they would not fit to the carriages so I printed one with the measurements on the site with one that would fit

@dc42 said in my delta printer seems to have a mind of its own:

It sounds like one of the carriages doesn't always reach the endstop. See this bit of the FAQ page

they do hit the endstops and i have watched them connect i click go to home repeatedly and it still does it until a turn it off and back on then all is ok. until the next time, it starts to do it
I have now set the M558
M558 P5 R0.5 H30 F1200 T6000
and still it fails to touch the bed on some of the tries here is a video i start at
X,0 Y,0 Z,0
as shown on the video
https://youtu.be/01zD6HJANLA
at 39 seconds is the one where it goes nowhere near the bed

but its totally random the one after this it didn't touch in 3 places

I have a Kossel XXL delta and I have been trying to get it right for over a week now
but it seems to have a mind of its own

the auto delta calibration won't touch the bed no matter what I set it I now have my Z set to -5 but it still won't go down. the endstop hit just says yes most of the time.

also, the home all option sometimes works then sometimes find the end stops lowers down then shoots off 20mm or so in one direction.

i just can't get it to print anything correctly. if i do manage to get a level and start a print something always messes it up whether it be it starts printing off center or it just doesn't touch the bed. and once it just stopped and stabbed my print.
it seems to have a mind if its own noting is constant

@dc42 said in prints coming out slightly too small delta printer:

M579

ok so if i am 4mm too big X and 1mm too big in Y
how should the M579 Look

I did a test print of a 20mm cube and it was 20 mm but when I go bigger a 150 mm circle is 145mm

I'm seeing all kinds of size problems but they are only a few mm out
how can i sort this out

i was printing a basic print on my delta printer and after about 20% it just stabbed my print and was pushing down on it lucky i was there or it could have caused more damage than just a print image below shows where it killed it with the hot end also it seemed once it finished the layer before the next one it seemed to go down as it started scraping before it stabbed it

i just set up a new delta printer and when i click baby stepping in the - axis it wont go lower than 0 how do i enable it

I just finished my printer and did a test print all seems ok size was correct but I'm getting this on the Z-Axis
this is a custom delta colossal xxl printer

thanks that worked

i have updated the wifi and the web interface but the firmware won't install here is what i have at this moment

Firmware Name: RepRapFirmware for Duet WiFi
Firmware Electronics: Duet WiFi 1.0
Firmware Version: 1.20 (2017-12-23)

Web Interface Version: 1.21.2-dc42

when i try to upload it i get
M997 S0
Error: M997: Firmware binary "DuetWiFiFirmware.bin" is not valid for this electronics

yes it is i just fitted a new board i had spare and it all works now
