@Veti Parameters in config override?

You update the parameters in config.g with the results from running bed.g. It should mean you don't have to run bed.g every time. However, if you're going to run bed.g every time you turn the printer on, or you are confident that your delta sizes are correct (my delta constantly tells me to change them, because my bed isn't square to the axes) you don't have to.

Can you post your homedelta.g?

you have not enabled config overwrite. therefore those settings will get ignored.

Not related to your problem, but delete or comment out this line from your config.g. As it says in the gcode dictionary:

Important! Do not use M587 within config.g. As well as being a security hazard, writing the access point parameters to WiFi chip every time you start the Duet may eventually wear out the flash memory. Also, the wifi module does not get enabled until the end of running config.g. It is better to use a macro to send M587 (source: https://forum.duet3d.com/post/42798)

homedelta.g looks sensible. At what point are you seeing the homing offset problem? Is it after running bed.g? Because you probably need to run G28 after the bed.g to reset the Z home if bed.g is applying a large correction.

@droftarts Homing offset?

My printer runs automatically G28 before delta calibration. After calibration results look normal (but can't see the map as with g29). After that print starts and mid printing happens.

Veti

you still need to save the values from the delta calibration.

@droftarts Homing offset?

At some point a different offset is being applied to the homed position of Z=0 when nozzle touches bed.

My printer runs automatically G28 before delta calibration. After calibration results look normal (but can't see the map as with g29).

After bed.g calibration, send G28. Then send G1 X0 Y0 Z0. Is the nozzle offset from the bed?

After that print starts and mid printing happens.

So it's in the Gcode created by Simply3D (Simplify3D?)? I don't use Simplify3D, but check settings for any Z offset there.

@droftarts I already did G1 X0 Y0 Z0, the same position happens when bl touch starts probing. After playing with my trigger height. I was able to print properly, but there is another problem. While it is printing fine on one side of the bed, it's not the same for the other side. A little air printing happens. Now, we need to find fix for that.

The phrase "the same position happens when bl touch starts probing." should not be a factual statement. Z0 is not the start position for bltouch probing.

So let's verify: Enter a "G1 X0Y0Z0" manually.

When that move finishes, is the nozzle just touching the bed?
