Question for anyone running a delta printer. I am finding that I can ‘over drive’ the space that my delta can work in. Basically if I tell it to go to far in an X or Y direction one of the vertical carriages will go too low, and actually go under the print head. I can post a video of it tomorrow but does anyone know what I might have configured wrong?
I’m not sure that the delta code in Marlin has any kind of checks for this kind of thing, so simply: don’t go beyond its limits. You can set what your machines limits are in your slicer software.
If there is anything else than the slicer that would stop it for a printer with Repetier Host, it would be one of these lines in the Configuration.h.
#define X_MAX_LENGTH 362.0
#define Y_MAX_LENGTH 362.0
#define Z_MAX_LENGTH 362.0
There are probably similar lines in the Marlin software.
I only had my printer since August and I have not played with those settings, so I can’t say if there is a check to avoid going out of bounds or not.
