Auto-leveling Z is a bit of a misnomer on Delta Printers. Your issues will be manyfold more than “auto leveling the bed.”

Most of the time, when a delta printer “auto levels” it actually is probing 15-30 points on the bed to create a plane grid for which it can compensate in mechanical imperfections. Meaning, if you don’t build it straight, things won’t move straight.

What you technically want, is auto calibration, but it requires a fair amount of printer know-how and a little coding to pull off.

  1. Don’t rely too heavily on auto calibration procedures.
  2. Follow this blog’s guide. http://minow.blogspot.com/ 18
  3. Good luck.
