Easy Delta Pie

<Update 10/8/2018> Added a manual leveling tab to help with the final leveling and better organized the tabs so the pictures are not up to date. I also changed up the auto leveling pattern. I never did check if it ran on linux and at this point I am done coding it. For windows users you can just download the zip file for convenience at: https://github.com/LucidWolf/easy-delta-pie/blob/master/EasyDeltaPie/EasyDeltaPie_Win.zip <Update 10/8/2017> Got to working on it and finished the tolerance stuff Gonna say its Beta now.... Since it works on my windows laptops and doesn't crash. Once i get it working on my Linux box I will call it production... since i have both install libraries ready. Requires Java8 and the rtrx serial libraries (http://rxtx.qbang.org/wiki/index.php/Download). This is a delta calibration package to help Repetier firmware delta printers get set up and producing right away. The software is found here: (https://github.com/LucidWolf/easy-delta-pie) The Steps: 1.) The software will verify the printer is active. (Connect Tab) 2.) Has a limit switch test. (Gantry Tab) 3.) Motor controller (Gantry Tab) 4.) Auto level based on the 4 factor calibration from Escher3D with additional statistical analysis to remove wild points. (Auto Level Tab). (http://escher3d.com/pages/wizards/wizarddelta.php) 4a.) Note: Fine tune delta height after auto level using Gantry Tab and sheet of paper. 5.) Print a Cali Cat 5a.) Update z-step calibration (Calibration Tab) 5b.) Level again --> Fine tune height 6.) Print a Advanced Delta Calibration to get tower angle 6a.) Update Tower angle 6b.) Level again --> Fine tune height 7.) Print delta dimensional calibration tool 7a.) Update Diagonal Rods 7b.) Level again 8.) Test rods and angles with Advanced Delta Calibration Disk - should be good Rinse Repeat as necessary. I currently am using this process and can reach 0.2mm tolerances on all 3 directions of the Delta Calibration or an error of 60.2/60-1 = 0.33% Which is about a 3 sheets of paper or a business card. (To be honest don't even know how good my Harbor Freight digital calipers are...) Huge shout out to: Escher 3D (David) for the reprap delta calibration software Dezign for the calibration kitty thing Dolphin for the Delta calibration thing PurpleSensation for the Delta calibration rod equations Also you should spam them with your makes and let them know you appreciate the models. :) Need to design a delta cal launching device since i have so many of those disks... Maybe use the cali cats as targets...
