Anycubic Kossel Klipper delta calibration
After flashing Klipper, it is necessary to perform a delta calibration.
Delta calibration will probe multiple points on bed and calculate rod length, tower angle, z height and other delta variables.
1. Attach and connect Z probe
2. Open OctoPrint
Open OctoPrint and connect to printer.
3. Delta calibration
Open Terminal and send home command:
G28
Send this command after the printer homes:
DELTA_CALIBRATE
4. Understand your calibration values
After a succesful delta calibration, you will see all values in a terminal window.
As you can see in the picture, it consists of three parts:
probe at x y is z
This tells you Z height at each probing point at X, Y coordinates.
stepper_a/b/c position_endstop : angle: arm:
stepper a = x tower, stepper b = y tower, stepper c = z tower
position_endstop – tells you distance between bed and end stop
angle – angle between tower and cartesian coordinates
arm – arm lenght
delta_radius
5. Save cakubration values
To values with this command:
SAVE_CONFIG
i got this message what shoud i do?
Recv: // Starting manual Z probe. Use TESTZ to adjust position.
Recv: // Finish with ACCEPT or ABORT command.
Recv: // Z position: ?????? –> 5.000 <– ??????
[…]
Recv: // Unknown command:"PROBE"
[…]
Recv: !! Already in a manual Z probe. Use ABORT to abort it.
Can you tell me more informations abour your Kossel, probe etc.?
i’m sorry , just forgot not edited the config file… for selecting the probe type…
right now my printer work like a charm thanks to your tutorial…..
Good to hear!
Wish you luck with Kossel.
Is there a way to do Delta Calibration without a probe but using the nozzle and a sheet of Paper? (just Like the G33 on MK4DUO or Marlin)
Hi, there is:
https://github.com/KevinOConnor/klipper/blob/master/docs/Delta_Calibrate.md
If i do that my probe crashes into the bed?? I used your config for the SKR 1.3 and i only changed the steppers to 2209_uart..
I use the Anycubic probe V2. Is there anything else i should change??
Yes you can.
Change your Z probe offset and check your probe type.
