delta style printer

Need to manual level hot end, this machine doesn't have auto leveling can this be done in repetier? I have about 223mm between hot end and platform. Now when I run a print it does the print just below the limit switches.

  • below limit switches at the top? Didn't you set z length? That should make G1 Z0 move to bottom. LCD menu has a option to mark a position as Z=0 to manually set height correct. Apart from this you have to calibrate horizontal radius/diagonal rod length. There are some tools around to help you, see e.g. http://forum.seemecnc.com/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=8698&sid=09fa4054f56721d6575591d260c3a0cb&start=0 also I never tried this on my own. They added a caliper to measure the points in the video. That trick might help you.

    What does not work is fixing rotation without z probe, so do this by adjusting end stop offsets or make it planar.
