Delta calibrate x and y too small on calibration cube 20mm

gmang73

To whom it may concern,

HELP PLEASE.

I have been calibrating my Anycubic Predator Delta for a few days now, Fun stuff.
I have the Hayden Mag ball arms and a smart effector with a e3d hot end.
Found the trigger height, auto calibration 6 point and made a bed file.

I have successfully printed a few calibration cubes first the wall thickness was too much so I followed the youtube way of fixing the steps in cura and it is almost bang on .4mm walls very pleased, However the actual cube dimension are off.

The y is 18.20
x is 18.12
z = 20mm

How to fix I put in the rod length as the mag arms come with a sticker 440.47.
Let auto calibrate do the radius after a rough measurement.

The prints are okay however I need way better dimensional accuracy Please help solve this.

Kind regards,

Grant.

The y is 18.20
x is 18.12

this is to much.
there must be a wrong setting somewhere.

post your config and overwrite

also the bed.g

remove that. that makes no sense here.

just for testing change the S6 to S9 and run the auto calibration and post the output

Warning: the height map has a substantial Z offset. Suggest use Z-probe to establish Z=0 datum, then re-probe the mesh.

you want to run G30 before G29

post the new M666 and M667 after the G32

Have you fix the measure problem?
I have sa me problem too
