      I have a new printer build which is a delta Kossel XL
      its all built and also i have the new smart effector and heated bed.

      I have a few questions

      1. how can i test if the auto leveling is working on the smart effector before i press the auto delta calibration

      2. where do i fit the end stops top or bottom I'm thinking the top

      3 the hot end cooling fan is working but the prin fans are not running what could be the problem

      1. should the 3 motors be connected on any order for XYZ axis

      also, i can't seem to find the link to the delta printer setup can you point me in the right direction

        1. See https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Smart_effector_and_carriage_adapters_for_delta_printer#Section_Commissioning. It's also a good idea to reduce the motor currents during testing, to minimise damage if you get a head crash.

        2. On a delta the homing switches are fitted at the top of each tower.

        3. Check that the print cooling fan is connected the right way round. The problem could also be a bad crimp connection.

        4. Yes. The left tower motor should be X, the right tower motor should be Y, and the back tower motor should be Z. Same for the homing switches (endstops).

        5. See https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/ConfiguringRepRapFirmwareDeltaPrinter and https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Calibrating_a_delta_printer.
