XY scaling on delta printer
-
I have searched this site but not found a definite answer.
I need to use the M579 command to make time tiny scale adjustments to my X&Y axis on a Large Delta build.
I need to know where to insert the command with scaling factors.Is it in the config.g file or the starting script on my slicer(cura) ?
How is it properly done and saved?
Thanks all. -

Thanks all.You can put it in the config.g file but then any changes you may need to make to the settings require rebooting the printer.
If you put it in the print start code then any changes you make will affect the next print.
I would put it in the print start code.
I should have mentioned that I keep my print start code on the Duet - not in the the slicer.

@dken21 if the scaling you need doesn't change, put it in config.g. If it does vary, you may prefer to put it in start.g instead. I wouldn't put it in the slicer start GCode because then if you modify the printer so that the required scaling changes, you won't be able to use previously-sliced files.
