Using G2/G3 but can't use all build area.

Hi

I've been trying to setup a 1/4 circle wipe/purge line on my Delta.
According to my Config Override G I have a radius of around 135mm

However I get outside machine limit fail if running much more than 100mm offset in G3 (as below).

Have any of you tried similar?
The fault occur on the Duet during start of print only and printer just stops there.
I know there is a collision check introduced but I'm a little puzzled that there is a difference of 35mm from Delta R-value to max possible offset in G2/G3 command

I did the same thing, for the I and J you're describing the center of the arc relative to the center of the current coordinate.

G3 X0 Y-100 I100 J0 E40 F400 ; lay arc stripe 90deg

At that position, your I and J parameters should be I0 and J100 if you are describing 0,0

I don't believe it takes any probe offsets into consideration, just the nozzle position.

@blt3dp I have just found another place in "Machine properties - Drive configuration" that +/- 105 in X/Y is the setting here and this matches the check for limits in my problem.

Now the function works fine and I get the 1/4 circle/arc at the edge of the build plate to ensure good start of print as filament line is purge/primed and ready to work when starting the job.

So I guess my problem is solved/explained.

Thanks for the interest here

@Penola

I tried with 104.99 and this works fine so yes the check lies against the 105mm

@Penola said in Using G2/G3 but can't use all build area.:

R135 is your delta radius. B105 is your safe print radius. See delta parameters meanings here: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M665_Set_delta_configuration

@droftarts
Thanks a lot.
Haven’t noticed the safe radius setting in M665.
Makes all the sense in the world now
