Unsuccesful Calibration of XYZ

While trying to do the homing test i kept running into the problem of the printer going out of its frame and also one stepper work st a time. This is my first printer and i could really use some help. Heres a video of what its doing [youtu.be]

If that's what happens when you try to home the printer, the problem is that your motors are moving down instead of up (delta printers home at the tops of the towers). Either with power off reverse the stepper motors connectors where they plug into the electronics, or reconfigure the firmware to run the motors in the opposite directions. How you do that depends on what firmware you are using.

Okay so I switched the wires and saw better results smileys with beer. Now the problem is programming it to know where the print bed stops and how far the it should go on the xyz scale.

How you do that depends on what firmware you are running and whether your printer has a Z probe.

When you open the arduino code to push it to the arduino, do you notice anything like Marlin or udelta? If you have marlin, you open arduino, and you see a little down triangle in the top right. Click on it, and you will find marlin files.

where did you get the code for the arduino. Because it will determine how to set up the height.

I acutally got it sent to me in a email from the seller of my printer, heres a link to my printer if interested delta reprap

Please do something about the hotend cooling fan wire. It will get burned soon if it gets in the way of the hotend.

can anybody assist me in the height adjustment?

When you connect to the printer in Pronterface you will get console logs printed to the screen. There may be a lot so scroll back up to the top and note down the firmware and its version eg 'Marlin 1.1'. Once we know that then you can be directed on how to change the height.

i found out that my path that i use which is myconfig.h isnt inputting my updated variables into marlin. Why is the path to my file not updating in marlin?

Not sure what a myconfig.h file would be? Normally in Marlin you edit configuration.h on your PC, then use the Arduino IDE to recompile and re-upload the firmware to your board, like in this guide: [solidutopia.com]

So I figured the problem out the problem when i got to my Motion control on my lcd its shows a Vmax x,y,and z of 999. When i home my printer the Z Coordinate jumps from z894 to z283 (which is the number saved in my configuration file) So my question is how would i set the Vmax and what is it?

Also when i extrude it reverses so how would i invert that also im using marlin. 1.0.0
