Nozzles physical Z Height changes when moving horizontally (Solved)
-
Ok, I got a lot of problems fixed to where I can at least start tuning it.
My only issue at the moment is (numbers are just an example of my problem)
Max Z height = 390mm
Min Z height = 0mmI send my nozzle to X-0, Y-0, Z-10.
When I move my nozzle to the end of the bed (in any direction), the Z gradually raises.
So lets say i'm at Z Height 10 in the center, if I move to the edge the Web Control still shows Z Height 10, but physically the nozzle is at Z Height 15 - 20. (again, it raises in any direction)Any thought?

Here are the stepper motors i'm using.

Your delta printer isn't calibrated. Check that the steps/mm settings in your M92 command are correct, then calibrate your printer. See https://duet3d.com/wiki/Calibrating_a_delta_printer.

At the center is Z=10, but if you move to the edges of the bed the nozzle rises right?
What happens if you send the nozzle back to the center? Does it go back to Z=10 or it keeps going up?If it goes back to Z=10 my guess is that your delta radius is way off.
Happy new year for the ones that are close to midnight!!!

Yes the nozzle goes back to physical Z=10 when i go back to center.
I put in all the values not 100% but extremely close. I used the RRF Configuration Tool.
M665 R323.275 L450 B155 H390Delta Radius (R)-323.275mm. Measurement from middle of print bed to the center of the tower
Diagonal Arm Length (L)-450mm. For this am I literally measuring center of tower to effector joint in parallel? If so it would be
like 230ish, but when I put that in there, when I click Home all, it does the physical action of homing all,
but then in the web control is says X-9999.9, Y-9999.9, Z-9999.9 and won't let me control anything. So i
just put in 450mm for center of ball to ball length.Printable radius (B)-155mm. I'm using a 310mm print bed, so half of that is 155mm.
Homed Height (H)-390mm. measurement from nozzle to bed (not accurate since the nozzle is changing z height when i try to
level the bed.One a side note, how does one measure Maximum carriage travel? Then I look at the "hint" when you hover over it and it says "Maximum travel length in Z direction", wouldn't that be my "Homed Height"?
I'm about to install these FSRs on here to see if it will auto calibrate and adjust those settings for me. But i'm not sure to what extent those will help. Never used them before.

Take a look at your delta radius, seems awfully large, like twice what it should be. Do an image search on google for a picture of how to measure.

Ok I see what happened. In the RRF Configuration Tool it says "Distance between the centre of your towers and the joint at the effector. So I was measuring from the center of the effector joint to the center of the tower, when from the google images i looked at it said to measure to the other center of ball. And it looks pretty even now and now raises the z height, thanks everyone!
