Hi guys, I would like to show you what I'm working on.
I'm trying to collect here, in one place the troubles I have and what I've found on this forum.
some info first:
I start working on my Anycubic Predator in march, here what will be the final result:
The upgrade consist in:
-Duet3 Board + Panel I7* + Raspberry Pi4
-Double extruder
-Maxiwatt hotend heater *
-BLtouch V3 *
-Magnetic joint ยน
-linear bearings (rails)
-nema17 (0.9ยฐ)*
-Liquid cooling for extruders and (if possible) for motors
-... and other small things ...
*this is already done...
ยน I placed again the standard rods because as you will read, I've some troubles leveling the base
Now consider I'm working with the standard Anycubic extruder configuration: 1 extruder with flying motor (only maxiwatt heater and BL touch V3 upgrades are applied)
Major issues I've now is regarding the leveling, tomorrow I'll try to explain as well as possible what I do, trying to understand with you what is wrong. I've no doubt on rods lenght, but is not clear for me the endstop regulation
I anticipate you that I've read the following post found in this forum:
https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/13097/endstop-calibration-for-delta?_=1597433494622
https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/9741/wavy-ridges-in-mesh-bed-leveling-on-delta-kossel-xl/2
and this nice document:
http://boim.com/DeltaUtil/CalDoc/Calibration.html
but all my trials following the suggestions wrote, goes bad...
the best result I get with this config:
config.g
homedelta.g
bed.g
is this Heightmap:
heightmap.csv
and this is the beginning of print:
in the red area (positive Y) the extruder is very closer to the base, (on big Y values it touch the bed ).
green area is the reverse, little bit far from the bed (doesn't stich well to the surface) (I will take a better picture with white PLA, is more clear)
I don't understand yet where to work first... firmware or hardware...
Is the first time I made something at this level, probably i'm missing something stupid (I'm sure )
Any kind of suggestion are well accepted.
thank you guys,
Marco
