      Hi,

      Until this time it had not been important, but now I have to print some pieces with text ... Where orientation is important. I think I could figure this out by doing tests, but I'm asking here to avoid the ones. The questions are:

      • How do you connect the steppers of a delta printer to the Duet board? Xdelta tower to XDuet, Ydelta tower to YDuet and Zdelta tower to XDuet ?.

      • What is the relationship between the position of the towers of a delta and the axes of the Slicer? Pj The axis of the Slicer Y +, corresponds where is the tower with the motor X?

      • The axes in DWC correspond to those in the Slicer?

        If you look at the front of the delta printer, the closest tower to your left is x, the closest tower to your right is y, and the center/rear tower is z.

        Relative to that same viewing position, the Cartesian origin is in the center of the bed. X+ is to the right, x- is to the left. Y+ is to the back, y- is towards the front.
