Delta's are an amazing printer to watch, but the bed level task is a nightmare. Beds can be skewed and trying to fix that is very difficult. It was for me. I got rid of my two flsun machines.
honestly i feel like it depends. Having designed and built a couple deltas, usually all it comes down to is making the rod length exactly the same, and then using an automatic probe to get the delta calibration done once and for all. If you had issues with keeping the effector parallel to the buildplate between prints, i can tell you that it was most likely inconsistent endstops (especially if they were mechanical!). On a delta you should never have to level the bed the usual way you would with dials, because it should be rigidly mounted. I use an automatic film probe that is mounted on the nozzle, i got it for cheap off aliexpress, and it works great, although I've found issues with my endstops not being repeatable enough as they are either not mounted well enough or i need to switch to opticals.
I have an 5 years i think, maybe older... kossel linear rail delta printer, i have on it marlin 1.1.9 with autoleveling. After leveling, i adjust a little maybe the Z, but that'd all. It had melted 100++ kg of pla, petg, is working always like you expected. The only issues was the one of the carriage broken, due to age 😂. Not seeing improvements worth an upgrade for the things i print from time to time.
I can't wait for the BOM so I can start building! 120mm will be a lot more useful than 70, but it is cute... I'd like to run the TriangleLab CHC extruder, as I'm already using those for the Rook, and especially if that fits better with their sensor.
I really want to build this one 😃 and have on my desk because i often design small prototype parts and need to check them for tolerance etc... Bring on the build files 👍
Delta is So cool. ❤it. Have you tried sLider system? Similar to makerBot replicator only X motor is not on the gantry so weight is off Y movement. Thanks for sharing your built ❤
What is the size of the largest model this delta printer can print without defects in geometry? My experience with 101 HERO mini delta printer was that I was able to print only small objects those were placed in the center of the bed... Diameter of bed of 101 HERO was 10cm but I was not able to print "big" square or circle. Square is better to see defects. Your demo video shoes that printer prints only small object in the center... Calibration of delta printer is real challenge..
the 101 did not have a ridgid frame or proper firmware, deltas are just as capable as other 3d printers. Klipper and RRF are much better and delta calibration.

There is just something about a delta. They are just mesmerizing. I want one so bad

Awesome I hope you do release the STLs for this size it will be perfect for a portable battery powered printer!
this is awesome. Congrats! Deltas are great.

Finallllly, been waiting for someone to make this exact setup since early development days of the rook. Can’t wait to build the 120 version.
This is so awesome, delta printers are so interesting

Let's go. Finally no more excuses to build a delta of my own. 👀✨😂
I want one xD I suggest Pawn as a name for it
I like Pawn
If you find the time, looking into designing a Polar Coordinate 3d printer would be awesome! I’m definitely going to be building this little guy.
I have, klipper doesn't have great support for them. They are cool though

Makerbot replicator uses H-bot motion, I have built some printers using that
It's so tiny...i want one lol
I like the name deltoid, deltormini or even Deltant

Oh finally, the rookish delta I mentioned
I know that a phoenix isn't a real bird, but you call this a small bird name like chickadee.
