Hey guys first time writing here. I own a Delta Wasp 2040 Turbo and have two issues with it.

The first one is something that started happening recently. When I save gcode from Cura (that is configured for delta) and try to start print on my Delta the head starts lowering towards the build plate and then starts moving right where it stops and the error message shows up on the display bottom saying “Out Of Plate”. I am not sure how to solve this one. The print is normal size and nothing that goes out of the borders.

The second problem is something I had from the beggining with Delta. The print starts and finishes fine but then the head moves to its “Home” and then it just falls on top of my finished print burning the point it touches with the nozzle. It is if the breaks are not working and the head just crashes on the finished print. Same thing happens if I set the head to go to “home” position and then turn the printer off, the head just falls down on the plate.

I hope someone can help me with these problems or provide link to similar posts. Since I couldnt find any.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Can you please share your Cura start and end g-code there must be the problem.

Its sounds strange that the head falls down after the motors are powered off (M84 command at your cura end code). Do you have your belts tightened enough. Maybe a video can be useful from this event if you have time for it.

I solved the first “Out of Plate” error when I switched from Cura to Slic3r since the new cura abviously doesnt support the circular plate. I dont know if anyone found how to solve it, but for now Ill stick with slic3r for my Delta.

Ok I will try to record the event when the head falls. It really is a mess since I have to be around everytime the print will finish, if Im not, the head falls with fully heated nozzle and melts the finished print. The head goes on home position and than it stays there for a while and then starts slowly fallling. It does the same thing with Slic3r softwere.

Thanks

Hi,

Yes the new Cura is a PITA, still using 15.04.6 for my Deltas.

Maybe it will be a good a idea to move the head to a different place after print finished.

So as the print completed the printer will perform a home (G28) than move the head to the Z tower where it can freely fall not ruining the print.

You can put this into your end code in your slicer.

Let me know if you need assistance to make this work.

Hello, make sure you are using Cura 15.05.6 (not the new/Beta 2.0). In Cura go to: Machine>Machine Settings (make sure you have the 2040 selected)> Build Area Shape>Circular.

To prevent the head crashing down, do the following in Cura:

Start/End G-code>end.gcode>Delete line M84 (and close the gap)

G28 X0 Y0 ;move X/Y to min endstops, so the head is out of the way
M84 ;steppers off
G90 ;absolute positioning

G28 X0 Y0 ;move X/Y to min endstops , so the head is out of the way
G90 ;absolute positioning
