| # ReadmeThese configurations activate many of the new advanced features of the Marlin firmware: * Auto Calibration * Auto Bed Leveling * Pause & Filament Change**Important**: Before doing anything else after updating the firmware, go to `Configuration > Advanced Settings > Initialize EEPROM` to get rid of old configurationsAfter that you should connect the Z-Probe and start `Configuration > Delta Calibration > Auto Calibration`. When it's done don't forget to also do `Configuration > Delta Calibration > Store Settings` to make it permanent.You should also do a `Motion > Bed Leveling > Level bed` followed by `Store Settings` to ensure a perfect leveling.Please do a manual paper test (moving the nozzle slowly down to Z0 and checking with a piece of paper) - if it's not perfect, use `Configuration > Advanced Settings > Probe Z Offset` to correct the difference and execute the calibration again.**Also Important**: if you value your Z-Probe do NOT execute `Configuration > Delta Configuration > Probe Z-offset` - this can destroy the Z-Probe, see issue [#11337](https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/issues/11337)# Selection of firmware versionPlease select the correct subdirectory for your printer.The Kossel comes in 3 versions: * Pulley * Linear * Linear Plus Pulley and Linear use the same configuration, the Linear Plus is bigger and uses slightly different configurations. Typically the probes for the Anycubic Delta Kossel printers come in two different versions. Specify your probe version at the top of the `Configuration.h` file for your machine. * Version 1: Z Height of -19.0mm  * Version 2: Z Height of -16.8mm Additionally, there is a configuration version available for the Kossel (Linear or Pulley) without Z-Probe and without heated bed. It is very important to follow the correct procedure to set it up after flashing the firmware, otherwise you might damage the printer by ramming the nozzle into the buildplate:* Configuration >Advanced Settings > Initialize EEPROM* Motion > Move Axis > Soft Endstops : Off* Auto Home and slowly move the nozzle down until it barely touches the bed (do the paper test: a normal sheet of paper should just feel the drag of the nozzle) and note this number* subtract this number from the value in Configuration > Delta Calibration > Delta Settings > Height (if it's negative, add it)* save and try the paper test again to verify your height* Configuration > Store Settings* Motion > Bed Leveling (using paper test) No newline at end of file |

What's up with these line-endings? We use UNIX line-endings.

Weird, my editor might do some weird crap. Fixing now.

It's kind of bad to overdo the unification of configs. It makes it harder to keep configurations in sync as new features are added. If there are more than a few settings that should apply to one machine versus the other, then it's better to split them up. Especially as users may not like the options that are pre-configured, and shouldn't have to wade through extra conditionals to apply their own preferences. |

Thanks for the feedback! my reasoning was: there are these 3 things that make the main difference between the Anycubic Kossels out there: plus: bigger, affects 3 values in the delta kinematics if you think it's too unified, I can de-simplify it again. but splitting normal and plus does not make sense IMHO, as there are only the dimensions different. |

It's not too bad. I'll clean it up slightly and see how it looks. |
