HE280 Bed Levelling issues w/ Oldschool Carriage/Arms/Platform

Post by NorthOfSkepty »

Got my printer to the point where I can start "auto-calibrating".
I altered my configuration.h as follows:
-Set the printer as "V3", (5).

Code: Select all

#define PRINTER 5
-Reversed the proper axis to match V2.

Code: Select all

// ######   Inverting Axis Settings
#elif PRINTER == 5
#define INVERT_X_DIR 1
#define INVERT_Y_DIR 0
#define INVERT_Z_DIR 1
#endif
-Altered the effector/arm length/etc. to match the stock V2 carriage/arms as described in https://github.com/seemecnc/Repetier-09 ... guration.h

Code: Select all

#elif PRINTER == 5  // Rostock MAX v3 
#define DELTA_DIAGONAL_ROD 269.0  // oldschool arms
#define DELTA_MAX_RADIUS 200.0
#define PRINTER_RADIUS 200.0
#define Z_MAX_LENGTH 350
#define END_EFFECTOR_HORIZONTAL_OFFSET 33.0 // oldschool offset
#define CARRIAGE_HORIZONTAL_OFFSET 38.4  // oldschool carriages
Ran the calibration and this is my first test:

So I though, ok fine, I'll tell it's a V2, and adjust the the offsets for that:

So not much success here. Anybody have any suggestions? Maybe I misssed something???

Lastly, fun lesson learned today: Cold basements cause thermistor errors, which in turn cause your printer not to work... the fix is in the firmware =_= good times.

How much did you change your offset? it looks like you should try something in the middle.
