Quick question, what are the benefits of a delta printer?
I just got a little one a few days ago. I’m not sure yet. I guess some say you can print faster with it because the head is light but I print pretty fast on my cartesians.
They’re ridiculously cool-looking. They require fewer unique parts to design and construct (since one drivetrain is repeated three times). The stationary bed is well-suited to large bed designs that require AC heaters or high-current DC heaters where flex wiring is a safety concern.
Any claims about them printing faster are only accurate at build plate center. Near the edges of the build area, where the arms start to approach horizontal, they’re extremely limited by the large motor speeds required to move the effector towards / away from the column.
My favorite myth is that they’re better at printing circles than cartesian bots… complete load of rubbish 
I have multiple deltas and cartesians, and the deltas are a labor of love while the cartesians are workhorses.
I have one, potentially a higher resolution, because the stepper motors are not linearly connected to the x,y, and z axis. They take up less space. And are cool looking.
I just love the looks when they are printing. However depending on the cartesian you are comparing to, the bed on a delta doesn’t move. I have a k8200 cartesian where the bed moves in both x and y and it’s harder to get decent prints that are tall.
