Delta calibration sequence order?

General Discussion
1

Hello! I am new to Klipper and just finished setting up my custom Delta printer. I have ran through all of the general calibrations, but wanted to double check the sequence I run after the machine is built.

I have been running the calibration sequence in this order generally…

  1. Calibrate rotation distance on all steppers
  2. Endstop phase calibration
  3. Probe calibrate
  4. Delta calibrate
  5. Bed mesh calibrate
  6. Delta enhanced calibrate (first print)
  7. Rerun delta calibrate
  8. Rerun bed mesh calibrate
  9. Rerun delta enhanced calibrate (2nd print to verify changes)
  10. Rerun bed mesh calibrate
  11. Resonance tuning / input shaper via ADXL345
  12. Pressure advance
  13. Print delta enhanced calibrate model 3rd time to verify changes

Would this be the correct sequence to calibrate a new delta printer with Klipper? Any suggestions or ideas? Thanks in advance!

From what i understand you should not run the second delta_calibrate because it will simply override your first one.
You could perform a few other enhanced, from what i understand the official documentation explains, but as soon as you start a new Delta Calibrate the parameters get lost…
But alas, Klipper + Delta info is very scarce and its a struggle to get more info.
Hope this helps, 2 years later.

The steps I follow when setting up my delta is (make sure to SAVE CONFIG after each step):

  1. Calibrate rotation distance on all steppers
  2. Extruder calibration
  3. Endstop phase calibration
  4. Delta calibrate (manual / cold nozzle/bed)
  5. Print enhanced delta calibration stl file
  6. Delta enhanced calibration - DELTA_ANALYZE CALIBRATE=extended
  7. Bed mesh calibration (manual / cold nozzle/bed)
  8. Resonance tuning / input shaping via ADXL345
  9. Pressure advance
  10. Hot end / heated bed PID tuning
  11. Probe calibration - if you use one (manual / cold nozzle/bed)
