While I wait to recover from the last stupid thing I did (I broke the build platform. Replacement(s) ordered.) I talked with the guy that printed my ingentis parts. (@Sonex128 ) He mentioned his Z-level was a rather odd number .2046 and .307 as they correlated to real-world, even Z-steps on his particular printer.

So here’s the question of the day: How do you determine the real Z-stepping on a Delta? Presumably it’d be all three motors moving some full number of steppings, right?

For the linear delta bots typically used for delta printers, the steps/mm for the Z axis are just the linear steps/mm of the three linear slides. If they all move up once step, the effector will move up the same amount. This is determined the same ways as determining the steps/mm for an axis on a cartesian bot.
