Configuration parameters delta printer
-
Hi everyone!
I just ordered a duet maestro to upgrade my ramps based delta printer. The printer is from the Trium Kickstarter campaign and unfortunately the company doesn’t exist anymore - meh!
The documentation of the specs of the printer are pretty much nonexistant and so I thought the needed parameters for the duet software configuration should be able to found in the marlin files.
Now my question: where exactly do I have to look for them and is there possibly an easier way to do this.Thanks in advance

What release of Marlin? They changed the config.h parameters for Deltas radically a year or two ago.
Anyway, most of the things you need can be measured:
Diameter/Radius of printable area of bed.
Diagonal arm length.
Horizontal offset from effector to carriage, joint-center to joint-center.I've probably forgotten a couple... but they can all be measured. Once you are close, the printer can "calibrate itself", assuming you have some kind of probe.

Hi Danal and thanks for your answer!
The Marlin Firmware is 1.1.0-RC7 ... but I’ve just noticed that the repetier host console spits out quite a lot of information when connected to the printer. Seems like most of the info is there. -
@antiman167, you need to provide RRF with an accurate value for the diagonal rod length (M665 L parameter), and approximate values for the delta radius (R parameter) and height of the nozzle above the bed when all three carriages are triggering the endstop switches (H parameter). The R and H values will get adjusted when you run auto calibration - see https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Calibrating_a_delta_printer.
