Trigger height not taking effect on Delta printer.
-
Hi there,
I am transitioning to a Duet 2 Wifi on my Kossel Delta printer (Linear Plus). I am getting close to what I thing is a working firmware. I have run the Delta calibration as well as the G29 for bed compensation. I changed the M665 values on config.g for those shown after delta calibration.
As I often do in these situations, I approach the nozzle to the bed in a step wise manner, in order not to damage the bed is something goes south. The value of trigger height is copy-pasted from the Marlin file but changing the sign. From -16.10 on Marlin Z-Probe offset to +16.10 on the G31 command on the Duet (the actual + sign is not there, fear not).
Although the nozzle goes quite close to the bed, it is still aprox 0.15mm too far above.
Now, my gut instinct told me to just change the Z value on the G31 command to Z16.25. I did so, save and reset, try it again, but nothing changed. The nozzle is still 0.15mm above the bed. Just in case, I tried changing to G31 Z15.95 and still the same...
I am now what one could considered as "lost". Could somebody give me a hand? Am I missing something? Do I have to re-calibrate and run the G29 all over again?I have a Duet 2 WiFi (1.04 I believe), running the latest stable release (2.03, I think).
My config file is as follows (still some work left to do such as PID calibration):
Thanks in advance

Not quite. Its determined by the H Parameter in M665 (the other parameter also affect it)
i would recommend to just run the delta calibration again after changing the offset.follow this to find the actual offset

@Veti nailed it. H is total from limit switches down to zero, and the nozzle won't (normally) go "below zero".
Re-run, get H right, and continue your stepwise approach.

please update to 2.04 RC latest. there is a delta bug in 2.03

Just after I hit the "Submit" button I thought about it but felt conflicted about it...
Thanks for your pointers also regarding to update to the 2.04RC. I'll keep you apprised about my progress...
The update to 2.04RC should it be to 2.04RC4 ??
BTW... should I repeat the G29 also?

Well, I did change the trigger height to 16.25 and re-run the delta calibration. The Delta Height changed by 0.2mm (or so). I approached the nozzle to the bed until Z=0 and, sure enough, I got nice paper grab...
Thanks a lot, everybody
