Re: LISA Simpson
How much Z .... how high is the ceiling ....:) More practically - how much money do you want to put into a test machine? Anything above a meter proves it works and then some.

Your jerk values seem to be low for a delta. Try 20 for x,y,z. But this is unrelated to the problem that filament does not stick to your heatbed.

Thanks for your replies. The problem seems to shift itself. At first it wasn't extruding fast enough. I don't know how to change the extrude speed in the firmware or slic3r. When I gave manual...

Firmware specifies only the maximum speed. In your case it is set to 10000 (the 4th arument of DEFAULT_MAX_FEEDRATE). 1000 is probably more common. It depends on your extruder. But this value is not...

I would expect crud to accumulate in the v points. It's hard to clean inside-corners like those, and dust etc won't be able to work its way to an open end and fall out. Does that really not matter in...

Thanks for the excellent information Bob. I already broke down and ordered the i3 kit, can't wait to get started building. Good info about not adding more weight to the delta.

Don't give up on the idea of a Delta. I think everybody should have one. I'm just not sure that they make the best first kit printer (yet).
