Thank you for the response!

I measured the diagonal rod length and horizontal distance a few times already and they seem to be right. What could be the cause of my vector plate moving in an arc?

How could I set my build plate as horizontal as possible before doing an auto calibration? If the build plate is tilted before doing an auto calibration the delta geometry parameters will be adjusted to this tilt right? Isn't that bad?

Should I perform the 4-factor auto calibration with my sensor or use manual mode? To be able to use the sensor I would have to know the trigger height already right?

Just to be sure that I get the procedure you are proposing:

auto calibrate with 4 factors to get the delta geometry to get closer to its true values. once vector plate is moving horizontally I can start testing the repeatability of my probe. If probe is not okay I'll have to replace it or use manual calibration.

Thanks for the help!

I think whilst in the getting it set up and calibrated take out the 501 a and delete or rename the config override file now is not your friend as you are making changes that that file may be overriding and giving you false results use the 6 or if you are sure your radius is correct use 4 factor even
Use a feller gauge to set your bed as best you can at a specific height like 0.1mm Move your effector around the bed adjusting the bed don’t home after calibrating as homing wipes the calibration.
I’m sure other Delta users will get involved but I had a journey getting mine calibrated which turned out to be a faulty part so if your convinced in your process being solid don’t rule out a loose idler or bolt as most of the time as I’m sure the developers will agree it’s the most common cause.

Are you heating the bed before calibration ? Ideally you are to 60c
Is your sensor accurate ? No loose wires/crimp?
Is it consistently giving the same deviation? With out changing any settings as to say if you calibrate 5 times does the deviation change?
Hope this is of help

G1X0 Y0. For some reason this is seen as a unreachable move.

Probably because it would require a carriage moving up past the end stop. Would probably need to lower all the towers a bit in the Z direction and then it would work.

that's what happens when I run G32 right?

I'm not sure, I haven't seen your bed.g yet.

Thank you! That solved it.
