Lead screw delta and proper arm length
-
Hello,
A week ago swapped the board on my delta printer from Lerdge to Duet, and I still cannot correctly set it up. So, the problem is following - if I put all the parameters that I have used on Lerdge to Duet config (with Delta_radius = printer_radius - slider_offset - effector_offset).
Delta 6-factor autocalibration correct radius more or less okay, a deviation is ~0.005. But there is a problem with X and Y sizes, so I decided to adjust the arm's length, and the only way to get proper X and Y, I have to set arm length to 212.3125 while the physical length is 220, so it seems strange for me.
So, do I have to set the arm's length to the real size and use M579 or keep it smaller than physical?
PS: 7- or 9-factor autocalibration set unrealistic parameters, so I don't use them. Step\mm is definitely correct because I have a lead screw instead of belts.

The rod length to use is the one that gives you best linearity. Print a grid pattern and pick the rod length that makes all the lines straight and evenly spaced. Then adjust scaling with M579.

thanks, I will try to do it. About rod length - is this okay if config will have the length that is different from the physical one if it provides good prints? May it affect somehow later?

Sure, if using the wrong rod length gives you a flat bed height map and good linearity, go with it. It's probably helping to compensate for a geometrical error elsewhere in your printer.
