Your Z is a bit low overall.

Cool. I'll adjust it after this print. Making new corner supports for the cnc router.

Crap. Now I can't print the 200mm level ring thingy again. It airstrudes the outside ring. :roll: Calibrating this thing is a pain in the ass.

It is probably H radius. Have you seen the calibration spreadsheet yet?

http://forum.seemecnc.com/download/file.php?id=5889 has the spreadsheet, which makes it much easier to work with adjusting the H radius.

There any instructions for that? Also will it still work if imported into google docs?

Is there a tutorial/help with using/ understanding the table? Does it relate in any way to my "too high between towers" issue?

there are instructions, http://forum.seemecnc.com/viewtopic.php?f=77&t=5906 and it should work (Macro's are mostly Macro's) in google docs. I haven't bothered as my printer is in a barn without internet. I'm not certain it help with the issues of it being high (I believe that it may be down to irregularities in the Kinematic segmentation and the arms of the drive train) but it can't hurt.

Thanks. So I read the instructions and understand up to the final formula in step 8 which says " New Horizontal radius = (.5 * current z offset) x Delta." Does "*" mean times (same as "x")? Wouldn't that result in a really small number compared to the old horizontal radius? Or is that just the new adjustment number? I really want to learn this as I hate fooling with those screws. In step 6, is the horizontal radius adjusted up or down depending on whether the tower positions s were higher or lower than bed center ( as geneb suggests .2 adjustments in the manual?
