Re: End Stop Woes... Homing issues.

Do you have extruder and hotend attached ? Similar problems exist if you don't have extruder at least configured in the firmware and the thermistor attached.

Re: Delta without parallelogram?

Hmm, by the looks of it, it could work :-) However, I maunder the impression that the parallelograms of each tower have a great impact on keeping the platform horizontal. Not sure whether that will be...

Re: Delta without parallelogram?

That design allows for a lot of effector freedom which would be great if you can control it, bad if you can't. If you read the last line of the pdf, they state that the joints were a problem, so while...

Re: delta problem - x, y, and z axis only move positive

That's how it should work. On startup the system always assumes you're at z0, and therefore will only let you move up. Once you hit the endstops, it now knows it's at z=max and will let you go down....

Re: Delta without parallelogram?

I would HIGHLY recommend a more traditional build than this for your first. Your first design will cost almost double what it would had you had some experience, and that is just building a normal...
