Been trying to finish up my delta design. Taking a lot of elements from @Eclsnowman @Alex_Lee and the Talos line. Really excited for this build. The verticals are 2020 and 1m tall and all others are 480mm with the front panel being a 2060 and the rest 2020. Think this will be strong enough? Those two rods are braces and will house the extruders and they will also have printed mounts to connect with the horizontals. I need feedback so please let me know what I need to fix.
Talos also involved @Alex_Lee
Corrected. Thanks @raykholo
I’ll defer to the experts but those 2020 verticals scare me… 20x40 at least.
2020 vertical is fine i have one that is 900mm tall.
@raykholo correction Talos3D was all @Alex_Lee
I was just lucky enough to be able to help him being a CAD monkey 
@Griffin_Paquette excited to see your build taking shape. I love new and different builds the most, that’s what keeps this hobby so interesting. So many variants out there that keep pushing things forward.
I wouldn’t go over 800mm columns spans (measured between horizontals) with 2020 personally, and that’s assuming rigid metal joints between the horizontals and uprights. For plastic vertices, I wouldn’t go over maybe 600mm with 2020. You can go big if you add triangle cross-bracing though.
@Ryan_Carlyle I was thinking of adding some braces from the verticals to the horizontals. I can always add them in but perhaps I’ll leave as is for now
I also use 2020 profile with 1 meter tall, and I got no problems.
You got it, don’t need to change anything. Just finish it and print @Griffin_Paquette
I really like that idea @David_Sherwood I will keep the two midbraces and if it has any flex that is what I’ll do.
My suggestion is to make the base extended up higher. This is what I did and I have no play in any direction.

@Alex_Hayden yep that’s a good idea
@Alex_Hayden sold me. I’m extending it now. How much of a gap would you suggest? I currently have 20mm between each.
@David_Sherwood I went that high because I was mounting the computer ATX power supply.
what about 30x30? it’s only around $3 more per 900mm, I am thinking of starting a big Delta build and was considering 30x30. Bad idea?
@Griffin_Paquette my spacing is 86mm to accommodate the ATX power supply. How many bolts are you using to mount your side rail to the corner piece? I recommend two bolts per corner to attach one end of the side. If you haven’t already bought the side rails I would recommend using a 20x60 and make your corners 60mm tall. Then mount wil 6 bolts two top two middle two bottom on each corner for each side. Hope that makes sense. You also only need to do this at the bottom. The top sides can be the 20x20.
