Well, I ditched Rich's version of Marlin and tried the Kossel version Marlin here : [github.com] I have attached the configuration.h for the delta Marlin. Rich's version of Marlin was quite old and doesn't support some of the newer features that are really required, especially by the #dr Simple, like M666 to adjust the endstops in software. I might remix the 3DR simple carriages to include a set screw for adjusting the endstops.
After some configuring, I am able to get the 3DR to home correctly and then move - somewhat. I still can't get it to print at all. It homes, then if I command a move in a direction, it forces itself and ignored the endstops resulting in grinding. I move it down to something like Z50 but I have to manually type in the commands i.e. G1 Z50 F5000 to get it to move. Clicking on the Z icon to move in Z on Repetier moves SOOOO slow it's almost imperceptible.
Can someone who has theirs running please attach your Marlin directory and possibly attach their slic3r profile?
To be honest, I'm kind of deflated. I've setup a few cartesian printers and they were a bit tricky but nothing like this. It's taking me hours and I feel as though I'm no where close.
Thanks!
