I have been having a problem with the auto level feature on repetier. It move the effector in a square to the next point instead of directly to the next location. And is there a way to keep the probe extended to speed things up?

Re: XL delta build
Is there a formula for the arm length that I need to conform to? I read in the arduino marlin/repetier firmware that you have to input the arm length. I'm sure there is some type of optimal ratio.... Right?

All i did was wire up some limit switches. IMG_1779.JPG IMG_1780.JPG I'm waiting on the hotend, the carbon arms, and a azteeg x3 controller because i think i burnt out the ramps :shock: all i saw was smoke and now it wont allow me to put firmware on it anymore. Is there really anything that burns ...

Re: XL delta build
I'm going to put a gfi circuit on that line, and ground the plate to prevent shorts. I was wondering what you guys would use to insulate the bottom side of the hot plate? I was thinking truck bed liner?

Re: XL delta build
I got the top put on today, and some LED lighting.
Here is the motor wired into a CAT5 cable. I plan on using the plugs as a quick disconnect.
it has a 15 tooth pulley and a heatsink on the back.

XL delta build
Hello all, I recently caught a bug for 3d printing, and as i learned more about them i saw they had small print volumes. And well bigger is always better, right? So I stumbled onto delta style printers, and loved the simplicity of their movement. Though all the manufacturers build volumes were less ...
