Heaven help me - I've just bought a delta kit :-)

Currently printing a wall tile holder that is just shy of 200mm wide and 190 tall. So too big to do on the rep clones and on the edge of what alexa can do.

I need a big printer :-)

[endure]

If you ever decide to drop $250 on another printer, read this thread from start to finish and pick up an He3d K200. With a little tweaking, slight math, and a few upgrades that you can print on your M200, you'll have one heck of, and fast, printer.

Is it sensible for a beginner to tackle a delta printer kit?

don't know how much use it is. But it is interesting to see how careful the system is to get the right temperature.

Mind you that said, it usually settles on 54c on 50c setting :-)

well tape definitely makes a difference. Instead of her usual 54/50 running bed temp.

She's currently settled at 59/50
Kinda weird.

Presumably this means I can set the temp at 40 and it'll run at 50 :-)
lol
Having a go at a print in place iris box.
running at 60mm/s - slowest I've ever done pla on alexa.
Curious to see if it makes any difference.

Also thinking about a cheap chinese knock off bl-touch.
The genuine ones all come from south korea. If you see one for £10 less that's shipping from china - It's not genuine. But might still work.
And on the bltouch website it does say that it's based on opensource technology. So can't really complain when someone copies it.

If you don't want your stuff to be copied - don't make it opensource :-)

In Repetier Host click on Config --> Firmware Eeprom Configuration. List pops up. Scroll down to the X, Y and Z tower offset.

Ah ha !
who knew that was all there (not me lol).

So what does the: Bed Heat manager do - 0-3 currently on 3.
If I change that will it heat up quicker ?

911 metres printed !
