Deltas are a little new for me… Any ideas?
Originally shared by Ross Hendrickson
So, love love love the layer detail, but… umm… Things are ‘squashed’. That is a 20x20x20 cube that ended up ~20x20x13. Those ultimaker robots should be … taller. All the belts are tight. I don’t think I’m ‘losing’ steps or have the wrong steps/mm (which is what I would think if this was a normal carty bot). Any suggestions?
Looks like the belt tooth per inch setting may be off and the arm and radius setting is compensating for it in x and y. Or, the steps per mm setting is off due to microstepping different than what the sw is aware of.
Yeah. I think these are 20T (not 16T when I started, gifted kit so no BOM) and the auto calibration compensated for the xy. Going to try more appropriate steps. Thanks for the suggestion.
It would have to be z steps in that case. If you are using the same size belts and pulleys on each axis you should have the same steps per mm on them. But if your motor for the z doesn’t have enough holding torque it could be pressing down into the print making that squashed look you see. If your steps are all the same try increasing your current on the z driver and see if it helps.
Don’t bother with extrusion multipliers until it prints it 20 cubed
