How to tilt Chimera Hot End so Second Nozzle doesnt Collide with the printed Part? (Offset)
Hello there,
I recently installed the chimera hot end on my delta printer. (Anycubic Mini Kossel Pulley Version)
I have leveled both nozzles and calibrated the new height with this tool : http://escher3d.com/pages/wizards/wizarddelta.php
So far so good, i have set the Offset of Extruder 1 to 720 Steps (9mm) so the Nozzle is centered when printed ( The Chimera Nozzle are 18mm apart). Im using only one Extruder for now, but i plan to use support material pretty soon.
Now when i print the second Nozzle touches and scrapes over the printed part so i had the idea to tilt the Extruder Plane some degree, so the second Nozzle gets more height. My question is what offset would i need to make that happen? and how many degree are acceptable till the print results might get worse because of the tilt? I think if the second nozzle would have 0,3 to 0,4 mm clearence through the tilt. that would be enough. Has anyone done anything similar and has some starting values i could try out?
That would be great Any other suggestions are also very apprechiated.
