Hello, everyone! I’ve been following this community for a while but haven’t posted yet. I’ve learned a lot from reading posts here, you guys are great!
I’m building a Delta style printer now - this is an on-again-off-again relationship with building, getting frustrated, can’t find information, burning myself, putting it in the corner, and pulling it back out again to go through the process again.
So, I’ve just pulled the machine back out and I started hooking things back up, and hopefully with your advice, get it up and running perfectly.
Right now, the frame is built, the end stops seem to be working, Marlin Firmware is playing nicely with my motors, and now I’m interested in automatic bed leveling.
What are the opinions from you seasoned pros? Servo? Long allen wrench? Momentary switch?
I have read that a servo probe sled, while some people have gotten it to work, is a long run for a short slide. Most people use the allen wrench method, with the hacked safety pin and the endstop on the effector. I have seen the larger momentary switches on other Delta printers, and some just do it all manually and feel that they get the best results.
When it comes to calibrating a Delta printer, what is your preference, and why?
