Calibration/Initiation order for a delta.

[janjoh]

What is the "most logical" order in which to do things for initialization of a Delta printer?

Basically, i have a machine with smart effector, and magnetic build surfaces.
I just got a second build surface and There is a bit of a difference in thickness between them.

WOuld the logical thing to do be to do

Heat bed and let it stabilise
Heat extruder to 150 or so
Then do

G29 S2 ; Disable any existing mesh comp
G32 ; Delta calibration
G29 S0 ; Run bed mesh

Heat extruder to working temp, and go print something.,

Or, is there a more recommended procedure.

@janjoh that procedure looks good to me.

I heat the bed to operating temperature and the nozzle to 200C (which my bed can handle), then run delta calibration. The bed.g file homes the axes if they have not been homed already. Then I run the print. I don't normally use mesh compensation because the bed is flat enough and the built is accurate; but if I did then I would use the sequence that you use.

I do not home the printer in the slicer start GCode.

@dc42 I probably should ditch the mesh calibration. I did use it for the Ziflex build surfaces.. because they did strange things. Now MOSTLY using WhamBam spring steel.

Thank you.
