So I’m not 100% happy with the default settings in the config file for the leveling-strategy.

I’m trying to move to the ZGrid-leveling solution, but I’m coming across some odd things happening. I need to probe a few more areas than just the 3 that are in the delta-calibration setting, as the areas that are not probed are the ones that seem to be causing the problem.

My ZGrid settings are as follows:

leveling-strategy.ZGrid-leveling.enable true
leveling-strategy.ZGrid-leveling.bed_x 75
leveling-strategy.ZGrid-leveling.bed_y 75
leveling-strategy.ZGrid-leveling.rows 5 # X divisions (Default 5)
leveling-strategy.ZGrid-leveling.cols 5 # Y divisions (Default 5)
leveling-strategy.ZGrid-leveling.probe_offsets 21,0,8.5
leveling-strategy.ZGrid-leveling.slow_feedrate 200

The problem I’m having is it only seems to probe half my surface from the mid-point back to the Z tower. nothing on the half closer to the X/Y towers. I’m not sure I understand why this is happening. Can anyone provide some insight into this? I’ve attached a video of what I’m experiencing. Thanks in advance,

Also, grid levelling is still new on delta machines, you should get the normal delta calibration ( which will be largely sufficient on a glass bed ) to work first before trying grid.

@Alex_Skoruppa I started with the 200 x 200 settings, but the effector would move right off the bed, so I tried shrinking that number.

@Arthur_Wolf I started with the standard delta calibration which worked, but the variances in bed height seemed to be 90 from where the bed was probed: ie: directly between X/Y towers (X0 Y-100) and so-on.

Mabye there’s settings I’m missing in the delta calibration that would help?

What sort of bed do you have ? What are you using as a probe for the calibration ?

The probe is the stock injected plastic probe that comes with the Kossel Pro: https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx?cid=070E802A1A3EE13C&resid=70E802A1A3EE13C!1872&app=PowerPoint

I think I’m going to switch to FSRs pretty soon here.

As for the bed, it’s a heated PCB with a 3mm borosilicate glass top. I’ve checked it with a straight-edge when the bed’s at temperature, its not terribly warped, just the bow is where the probe doesn’t touch. :confused:

@Chris_Wilson Yeah then you do indeed need grid. Is your firmware the latest version ?

I’m running a version of smoothie-edge - it’s on an X5. I will upgrade if you need me to. lol Just tell me what to do. I’d love to get the grid working!! :slight_smile:

@Chris_Wilson Try flashing the latest : http://smoothieware.org/flashing-smoothie-firmware

I do not think zgrid works on deltas yet. ask @Quentin_Harley he wrote it.
You do need to tell it that the 0,0 is the center of the bed not the front left corner.

That’s exactly what @Arthur_Wolf and I surmised. I’ll get in touch with him, thanks. :slight_smile:
