Z height
-
Hi everyone,
I have a Delta printer with DuetWiFi and Smart Effector, when I print the nozzle is too close to the bed. I have to use the baby step to reach the optimal Z height.
Even if I do autocalibration, when I print the Z height is too close to the bed. What's the parameter I need to modify to adjust Z height?this is my config file:

Trigger height needs to be set,
https://duet3d.com/wiki/Calibrating_a_delta_printerscroll down to the Measuring Trigger Height section to get trigger height, then replace the Z-0.1 figure.
On mine, with smart effector and pei bed on a layer of thermal transfer gasket, I have Z-0.28 -
I set the trigger height(Z-0.447), yet it doesn't change anything. When I start printing, Z height is still too low; I need to use baby step to raise Z to 0.35 to get optimal prints.

I've solved it. I made an autocalibration with a piece of paper folded three times. Weird, but it solved the problem. Now the height is correct and it prints well.
