Weird Bed Mesh - Delta - Rostock 3.2
-
I upgraded my SeeMeCNC Rostock MAX V3 to a 3.2 using their upgrade kit and a Duet2Ethernet from MatterHackers.
Everything came together well and the first pair of prints seemed OK but when I took a look after failing the full bed circle test I saw that I have a weird pattern in the bed mesh. I've swapped from the BuildTak system glass plate to my spare glass plate that has no treatment and the pattern is the same.

Have you gone through this in close detail? https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Calibrating_a_delta_printer

@Baenwort This is a good page for visualising what the effect of incorrectly set rod lengths and delta radius does: http://boim.com/DeltaUtil/CalDoc/Calibration.html
I'd say you have a mix of both causing your strange mesh pattern. I notice that the radius has jumped from R144 (in your config.g) to R150.140. I guess you've done a calibration but fixed the arm length? Are you sure that's the correct arm length? Because the mesh map points to either the arms being too short and the radius to large (which I think is more likely), or the other way around. At least the bed mesh map is pretty symmetrical, so I think adjusting these will get you a pretty flat bed.
Also, see guide @Phaedrux posted.
Edit: also found this, so I could look at your bed mesh in 3D using the csv data:

@droftarts The R value is 144 per the manufacturer suggestion but the actual build plate is 310mm diameter. I can try my best to measure the Delta Radius as I do have a device of sufficient size for that.
The arm length is beyond my ability to measure accurately as I don't have a tool that can do so. I rely on SeeMeCNC , a Duet3D partner manufacturer, to have made the arms and provided a accurate value. Which direction would you suggest adjusting and in what amount? Increase the arm length by 1mm?
That page does have some interesting information.
@Phaedrux I will give it a try. The idea of the first probe macro, provided by SeeMeCNC, is to do all those things. When upgrading to Duet from RAMPS the only changes are the Duet and the new hot end (which probes and connects in the same fashion between the two version) there are no physical changes and the printer has been successfully printing before this change. I changed mostly as I was having memory space issues with the RAMPS board and complex duel extrusion gcodes.
I'll report back after measuring the Delta Radius. Please make any other suggestions you'd like as I've spent the weekend and have exhausted my ideas.
-
So I did @Phaedrux 's instructions and physically everything seems to be as good as it was before the upgrade to Duet and SE300.
@droftarts I edited my rod lengths to 340.5 (which is what SeeMeCNC lists in https://www.seemecnc.com/products/carbon-fiber-arms-340-5mm-set-of-six and their own Wiki page. It is only in the github repo for their SD card load that it uses 377 for the arm length.
Since doing this I seem to have better results.

it still has the kinda strange curl in the three corners and a dip between them and the center slightly raised but this is within a range that I am going to try printing.
I will bring the 300mm micrometer home from work tomorrow and measure the Delta Radius as you requested. If you have other suggestions please make them as I'd like to get this all nailed down and the printer processing all the requests I have from friends and co-workers to make some of the NIH items.

@Baenwort Looks much better! There's still the shape there was before, but much subtler, so maybe it's just tweaking the arm length and delta radius now. I think there's also some effector tilt going on, or backlash in one of the axes, as you're getting alternate up/down lines in the X axis direction:
Have you tried running a 7-factor bed calibration? This will tune the arm lengths too.
It's very difficult to measure delta radius, and you need to measure the effector radius too:
As you're so close, I'd just let the calibration sort it out.

@droftarts I see that given what I have available to measure with it will be difficult as I'm not sure how precisely I would be able to measure from center to center of a open circle. The Effector wouldn't be as hard as I'd have the nozzle to align with and the extruded towers have a center channel I could also use.
Do you suggest tweaking by .5mm or even .1 in a given direction? I don't think the delta radius is the problem but rather the arm length. I've put in a issue on SeeMeCNC's github about this: https://github.com/seemecnc/RostockMaxV3.2/issues/2
I wasn't sure if I could do a S7 calibration as the wiki advice is that you need to be significantly outside the triangle of the towers and I don't think my surface is big enough?
The idea of the carbon arms and milled ball joints was to reduce backlash. I wish I had some more precision to measure tilt as the bubble levels and analog angle gauge I have don't show any issue. Would you suggest anything other then using a bubble level on the effector?
Is there a video host that would be best for me to post a G29 run or other movement video while the bubble ridges the effector?

@Baenwort In the end, the effector tilt is tiny, I'd say about 0.025mm. It may just be belt tension (equally tension all three belts), or a slight movement/sticking in an X-carriage, or stiction (static friction, ie that some force is needed to move them) in the ball joints. Did you lubricate the ball joints as recommended?
The bigger issue (and again, it's still pretty small, as your max deviation is +/- 0.125mm) is the delta radius and rod length, but I think these are close, and you're not going to get closer by physically measuring it.
I'd say yes, your bed is big enough to use S7 (or S8 or S9, though the bed looks pretty flat). I'd see what they report; you don't have to implement them. Just run them (adjust bed.g so the nozzle probes as close to the edge of the bed as possible, without hitting the towers) and run a bed mesh afterwards, to see if there's an improvement.

@droftarts Thanks, I will try driving the nozzle over to the edge of the bed and measuring the coordinates to put into a extra points. I currently have the following bed.g

I am currently going to add 6 more points to the 18 I currently have. Three, each at the base of each tower, as close as I can maneuver the effector; and three, each directly opposite a tower, as far as I can position the nozzle out and still have solid bed under it.
Would that be sufficient for a S7?
I have lubed and cleaned and lubed again the ball joints on both the trucks and the effector ends with the white lube that SeeMeCNC gave with the ball joints. I've noticed that the lube likes to pick up dust and I never found a good recommendation on how much so I think I'm over lubricating out of caution.

So I made up some extra bed.g points, that after I modded my config.g to have a B150 in my definition area to let me get closer to the edge, gave me the following bed.g that did not crash anything and reached where I had hoped.

Have you verified the tower steps/mm? An error in the steps/mm setting has a similar effect to an error in the rod length, because it's the product of the two that needs to be right to get a flat print plane, assuming that the delta radius is adjusted to suit. Calibration with S7 gave you an increase in rod length from 340.5 to 342.5 which is abou 0.6%. If your real steps/mm is 0.6% smaller than the value you have used in config.g, that would have a similar effect.
Adjusting rod length or steps/mm will affect the scaling and geometry of printing. I suggest you print a maximum-size square, then check it for correct size and straight edges. Also print a large nought-and-crosses/tic-tac-toe pattern and check that the lines are parallel and correctly spaced.

@dc42 I have 1.8 degree steppers with 20T pulleys from SeeMeCNC. Per their github and wiki this means I should be using 80 steps/mm for the axis and 91 steps/mm for the EZR Struders. This is what is in my config.g and I'm not sure if you are suggesting I should take 94% percent of 80 and use that?
I can switch out to. 9 steppers and 16T pulleys as I do have them on hand but I wanted to do this upgrade one component at a time.

I printed a large circle with crossing lines (the SeeMeCNC test wheel found at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3002657 or see my picture) and it measured well.
I am currently looking for a good large square that is the right size to fill the bed. How close to a full bed do I need? The bed is a 310mm circle but I don't plan to print larger than 280mm.

Did a 150mm square as that is the largest accurate measurement device I have.
Printed in ABS.
I don't understand what you mean by a toe print. Can you provide a reference I can scale in Cura?
