hybrid setup for test: adding extra axis to delta

c310

To test my new setup of duet delta i have to test it, so instead of disassembling working printer i decided to add extra motor with rail, endstop and belt. basically 1/3 of delta picture below.
extra motor is 0.9 degree (current ones are 1.8) and is connected to E0 and i have added it as a new U axis.

General idea: to run new motor for 10-15 hrs and see temperature, noise and other things.

new axis is longer than current printer. so, the question:

how to change that U-axis length in config.g with delta printer ?

thank you in advance

U-axis add-on:

M569 P4 S1				; for TEST of extra motor 
M584 X0 Y1 Z2 E3 U4 		; U4 for TEST of extra motor 
...
M574 U2 S1 P"e0stop"  ;for TEST of extra motor 

M92 X80 Y80 Z80 U200 		; Set axis steps/mm http://prusaprinters.org/calculator/#stepspermmbelt 
M350 X16 Y16 Z16 E16 U16 I1    		; Set 16x microstepping with interpolation
M906 X1250 Y1250 Z1250 E700 U1700		; Set motor currents (mA) 85% of rated

I don't have an answer... just chiming in to say how amusing that 1/3 printer looks...

Great job!

found a solution

M208 S1 U-220       ;  here we tell printer to "extend" U-axis below 0 up to -220 mm
G1 F9000            ;  set high speed 
G1 U190             ;  go all the way UP
G1 U-220            ;  go down to -200
