Hi Disneytoy

Steps per mm for x,y and z just sets your z travel. Get that dialled in correctly first. Then create 4 scripts to move your hot end to the base of tower 1,2,3 and 0,0 (centre of print bed). Towers are designated x, front left, y front right, z rear. 1, 2 and 3 respectively. Now send the script for base of tower 1 and adjust your z height with either the hall board pot, microswitch (whichever you are using) or in firmware with M666. Once you have T1 dialled in do the same for T2 and 3. Send the hot end to 0,0 it should be the same z height as the base of the 3 towers. If not adjust one of the delta radius components, usually smooth rod offset, until all 4 positions are at the same height. Once all that is done print a calibration object and measure it. The x and y size is altered by changing the delta diagonal rod value. Read through Rich's latest blog it's all explained there much better than I can do it. Good luck

Andy
