@Atomic3D:

Does anyone know where i can gind info on building a large delta printer? For instance what rod size and what size ectrusions needed and such.

I have just published the details of my recently upgraded large (1m high, 300mm print diameter) delta at https://miscsolutions.wordpress.com/2017/03/22/time-to-rebuild-my-large-kossel/ and the page that it links to. Please note, the PCB effector and carriage adapters are not in production yet.

The Google group that Tony linked to is a good place to ask for general advice.

I built a large delta almost 12 months ago based largely on this "Delta 6" here http://openbuilds.org/builds/delta-six.476/

It has worked very well, and it was not a difficult build, although the original person has left so the info is spread over many pages of discussion along with file updates. I used the full size openbuild wheels and openbuild plates on mine as carriages (others have done similar), I have a 300mm build plate and can print 480mm tall, I used 1m verticals

One of the more recent builders of that delta-6 re-did all the files and made improvements on many of them, and this is a link the the build that has his files http://openbuilds.org/builds/delta-six-jerry426-variant.4005/

I've built a smaller kossel out of 2020, and found it ok, but I can get flex out of the 2020 that you don't get out of the larger 2040 extrusion used in the delta-6, not really an issue on the kossel size but for me I wouldn't like to use 2020 for anything larger than a std kossel size- in fact for my next build I have started I'm going 1.5m tall verticals and will use 2060 extrusion

Need more information. What parameters were you changing?

The important parameters for the IR probe are the M558 parameters (in particular P1 to select the probe type), and the G31 P and Z parameters.

Ok, I sorta get that, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. So as long as that command doesn't exist than it will map how I set it up. Merry xmas dc42.
