Configuration for Kossel k800 XL

This example configuration ist for a Kossel XL with a printable bed diameter of 280mm and a height of 385mm. It also has the auto bed leveling probe (with a endstop switch) and the heat bed activated.

Configuration

You might have/want to edit at least the following settings in Configuration.h:

MANUAL_Z_HOME_POS The hight of your printing space available, auto bed leveling makes this not as important as before


DELTA_PRINTABLE_RADIUS The printable radius
DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT [http://zennmaster.com/makingstuff/reprap-101-calibrating-your-extruder-part-1-e-steps](The steps for the extruder to optimize the amount of filament flow)


Fine tuning

Increase DELTA_RADIUS when the model is convex (bulge in the middle)
Increase DELTA_DIAGONAL_ROD when the model is larger then expected

[http://reprap.org/wiki/PID_Tuning](PID Tuning)

DEFAULT_Kp (PID tuning for the hotend)
DEFAULT_Ki (PID tuning for the hotend)
DEFAULT_Kd (PID tuning for the hotend)

PSU Options

The power supply is configured to 2 (to use a relay to switch 12V on and off)
It is configured to be off by default
