excellent results with just a few minutes of time. No special probing
hardware is necessary to get good results.
Ultimately, the delta calibration is dependent on the precision of the
tower endstop switches. If one is using Trinamic stepper motor drivers
then consider enabling [endstop phase](Endstop_Phase.md) detection to
improve the accuracy of those switches.
Basic delta calibration

There are two ways to perform the probing - manual probing and
automatic probing. Automatic probing utilizes a hardware device
capable of triggering when the toolhead is at a set distance from the
bed. Manual probing involves using the "paper test" to determine the
height at each probe point. It is recommended to use manual probing
for delta calibration. A number of common printer kits come with
probes that are not sufficiently accurate (specifically, small
differences in arm length can cause effector tilt which can skew an
automatic probe). Manual probing only takes a few minutes and it
eliminates error introduced by the probe.

The basic calibration should provide delta parameters that are
accurate enough for basic printing. If this is a new printer, this is
accurate enough for basic printing. If this is a new printer, this is
a good time to print some basic objects and verify general
functionality.
