      It's been a long time since i've posted here, I took some time off from tweaking my delta which still is not running correctly.

      It has a lot of effector tilt.

      link text

      I followed this link and measured all of the components. Everything is in order as far as I can measure.

      I'm still left with this:

      and I'm still not quite sure whats left to do about it. Delta has a smart effector, duet2 wifi, mosquito hot end, bond tech extruder, couple other things. I've made fixtures to align the magballs to be the same distance from eachother and from carriage to carriage and the same on the effector. I also made a fixture for the same rod length, neither seemed to affect the mesh map. Just got done completely disassembling the carriage roller assemblies to find the factory put washers where there shouldnt be and were missing washers where there should be. Once solved, the map still looked exactly the same. Any ideas?

        what factor calibration are you using?

        try 8 or 9 and see if that improves it.

          Sorry for the delay. Been working on the printer. You were correct, 9 factor helped a lot. I found a few other things and corrected them. Most of all, I found my bed.g file did not include a M500 command so it wasnt actually uploading and using the results. As soon as I did that then ran g29, the mesh bed was very nice.

          I have a few other problems I'm hoping some people can help me with perhaps. My filament runout sensor is not registering anything through duet webcontrol or my paneldue. I wired it according to the diagram for duet2wifis (gnd, pwr, signal) and config'ed (M591 D0 P2 C4 S1 at the end) and when I stick filament into the sensor an LED on the board turns on and off as filament enters or leaves but nothing happens in webcontrol.

          I'm running RR3 and tried M591 P2 C"e0stop" S1 D0 as well which also did nothing. The board is obvs receiving signal. Perhaps how I'm writting the config?

          Also, I think i need to calibrate MCU temps or something because during a benchy print, they hit 45 C. The board didnt turn off though so I'm not sure if theres a fail safe.
          I upgraded my fan to a really huge blower and pointed it at the underside of the duet board (blows air over stepper drivers and MCU, lots of air at 0.15amps) and the temps are still around 32-33 C all the time. Duet webcontrol says max is 33.2.... not sure whats up but concerned.

            45C isn't anything to be worried about. 85c maybe.

            But you can calibrate the sensor to see how accurate it actually is.
            https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Calibrating_the_CPU_temperature

            What firmware versions specifically are you using? Which filament sensor is it specifically? Which port do you have it connected to?

                M591 D0 P2 C"e0stop" S1 should do it.

                What are you expecting it to do? It's only monitored during a print. Have you tried starting a print and removing the filament?

                Can you send M98 P"config.g" and post the results along with your current config.g?

                  rrent confi

                  ok that worked. I tried M591 D0 P2 C"e0stop" S1 first, but I put it in the endstop category. that didnt work.

                  I put it at the end in custom settings and that paused the print and gave a message filament out which is what i wanted.

                  here's my config for posterity or if you see anything that stands out as being incorrect.

                  not sure whats up with the heaters appearing overpowered. I havent had them overshoot yet.

                  I also have a blobbing and light stringing at layer changes and retraction points issue that Ive been trying to get rid of with retraction, temps or pressure advance. Doing tests for a bit but so far not much luck.

                    Would need more details on your extruder to be of much help.

                      All genuine. Mosquito w/0.4 tool steel nozzle. Bondtech BMG (flying extruder). Capricorn 1.75mm bowden tube (190mm from extruder to mosquito top entry)

                      Standard chinese stepper that came with the Anycubic Predator.

                      currently on hatchbox pro PLA that sits in a desiccant filled bucket. Putting a food dehydrator together to dry rolls if needed.

                            Photos of example prints?

                            Tool steel nozzles can be extra tricky.

                              that and they're relatively lumpy which is my next trick I have to tackle.

                              hatchbox PLA seems to like the higher temps so i'm going to stick to the 220 area. was printing at 190...

                                Looks like some lifting on the corners. Needs more cooling?

                                And yeah higher temps with a steel nozzle to keep the plastic temp at the tip up.

                                  I’ll give that a try. I need to print a slightly better fan shroud as well.
