@boldnuts I have!

@boldnuts I have, and I'm getting an average deviation of 0.060.

@Phaedrux Thank you for the incredibly quick reply! I have in fact went through that page and checked build quality, squareness, tightness of carriages etc. Nothing is out of place that I can find, and I cant see any effector tilt according to the bubble level on top.

Hi all! Finally back at it with my Tevo Little Monster I have converted to a duet wifi, smart effector and 360mm magball arms. I'm so close to getting it up and printing I can taste the PLA. I've got my firmware all setup and can actually print, but my prints are coming out skewed. On some sides the infill wont touch the outer walls, and others it overlaps by quite a bit. I'll attach my a photo of my heightmap, which shows the issue that is translating into my prints. Anyone know what could cause this? It's my first delta printer, so I'm not really up to snuff on the tuning of issues.

@joergs5 sorry for the huge delay! It's been a crazy busy month. I went and got married and had my honeymoon band have been out of the game for a month, but I'm ready to come back at it strong! I can't really seem to find much I'm the way of the extrusions being off from each other. I can't really connect the carriages to see if they bind, but using my metric tape and digital angle gauge, everything seems to be super square. I've even replaced the vslot wheels and bearings.

@joergs5 that's a pretty awesome article. I might try that, but since my issue isn't consistent across the print bed, I think it will only help on smaller objects. I'm going to re-print some parts, tear it down and rebuilt again. Just to eliminate any discrepancies in the adapters for my magball ends I may have. Also, how important is 100% even belt tension?

@joergs5 it theoretically could be warped, but it's a circular mirror, and happens on all areas on the bed. And a G29 produces a pretty nice grid.

@joergs5 I really don't think it could be the filament warping. It has happened with multiple filaments, and multiple materials. The printer is locked away in a closet under the stairs like Harry Potter. Lol so no windows or anything like that that could cause a draft.

@joergs5 Unfortunately I don't think that is the issue. I've taken all the towers off and laid them next to each other and the length is so even that there is no difference with all 3 being lined up with 2 machinist squares.

@dc42 Thanks so much for the help. It does not seem to be printing skewed at all in the Y direction. Just in the X. Would the steps/mm need adjusted for just the X Axis then? Also, I am 100% confident in the rod lengths being correct at 360mm.

Also I have pics, but can't seem to get them to show up in my post? lolHere's the google drive link

Hey all, first off let me say how awesome this community is and how awesome the duet ecosystem is! I'm loving my duet wifi and smart effector!

Ok, with that said I did come here because I am having an issue with my delta. It's a Tevo Little Monster I've converted to a Duet Wifi and Smart Effector with 360mm Haydn arms. It's printing BEAUTIFULLY, but things aren't quite dimensionally accurate. As it is printing in the +X direction, parallel lines will bow inward, and in the -X direction they bow out. This leads to walls and infill not touching. I can't find any build issues, as I have taken it apart and rebuilt about half a dozen times and can't get it to go away, and can calibrate to 0.019 deviation. I've rotated my arms around, and validated they are all VERY VERY close to the same length. Any ideas on what could be the culprit?!

Hello all, I'm hoping that someone here can help me out in my time of need. I'm going nuts trying to figure out what could be the cause of my Delta printer having some pretty severe "dips" in front of each tower. Printing small things, everything comes out great for the most part, but when things start getting larger then the dips are much more noticeable, and the infill and top/bottom layer don't quite touch the perimeters. The printer is a TEVO Little Monster that I have converted to run off a duet wifi and 360mm Haydn magball arms. Using 6 factor calibration too, but doesn't really seem to change much from 3-6 factors. Also, I've made sure everything is pretty much spot on square with a machinists square, and belt tension is pretty tight. I have ordered a Duet Smart Effector which will be here tomorrow, so I can rule out the BlTouch as a culprit.
