Delta_carriage_offset issue
Posted: Thu Jul 28, 2016 9:32 pm
Hello All-
I have finished building my G2S and am at the point where you move the print head to points 2, 3, and 4 and level those points. That worked great.
Then, the next step is to move back to point 1, zero the Z, and if the print head is above or below Z0, it determines if the surface is convex or concave. You then edit the Configuration.h file, and edit the line:
#define DELTA_ (DELTA_SMOOTH_ROD_OFFSET-DELTA_EFFECTOR_OFFSET-DELTA_CARRIAGE_OFFSET+1)
Mine was a "convex" result, so I changed the offset from +1 to a +0. I uploaded the firmware, and the result did absolutely nothing. Same result. So, I changed it multiple times... I tried a -1, -2, +2, +5, etc. Nothing seemed to effect the result. No matter what I did, the print head always touched the surface at Z1.8
Any ideas on what I should do?
Thank you.
Brad
