Update Delta_Calibrate.md

Open chexxor opened this issue 10 months ago • 2 comments

Clarify delta calibration and geometry.

I had an issue with calibrating my delta printer, specifically on troubleshooting X-Y dimensions that were 88% of their target size. It was largely due to my misunderstanding of the delta geometry.

I was confused on what "delta_radius" means in klipper. It could mean bed radius or print area radius, but it is actually referring very exactly to delta kinematics-specific geometry. It is the X-Y distance between arm centers when in the parked position. The RepRap page on the topic is a useful place to learn a bit more about it.

This change provides an idea of a symptom of incorrect X, Y dimensional accuracy and provide a lead towards fixing it.

Thanks. In general, it seems fine to me. However, links to other documents should use relative links - replace [Config_Reference](https://www.klipper3d.org/Config_Reference.html#common-kinematic-settings) with [Config_Reference](Config_Reference.md#common-kinematic-settings).

Thank you for your contribution to Klipper. Unfortunately, a reviewer has not assigned themselves to this GitHub Pull Request. All Pull Requests are reviewed before merging, and a reviewer will need to volunteer. Further information is available at: https://www.klipper3d.org/CONTRIBUTING.html

There are some steps that you can take now:

  1. Perform a self-review of your Pull Request by following the steps at: https://www.klipper3d.org/CONTRIBUTING.html#what-to-expect-in-a-review If you have completed a self-review, be sure to state the results of that self-review explicitly in the Pull Request comments. A reviewer is more likely to participate if the bulk of a review has already been completed.
  2. Consider opening a topic on the Klipper Discourse server to discuss this work. The Discourse server is a good place to discuss development ideas and to engage users interested in testing. Reviewers are more likely to prioritize Pull Requests with an active community of users.

If this happens, then it is a good idea to move further discussion to the Klipper Discourse server. Reviewers can reach out on that forum to let you know if they are interested and when they are available.
