Anyone Building A Kossel?

Johann the infamous creator of the Rostock Delta Bot 3D printer, is making great strides on his next 3D printer design, the Kossel. The 3D files (STLs) for the Kossel just got a big overhaul on Johann's GitHub Kossel page.



On May 28th, he released a video of the Kossel determining the levelness of its print surface with a retractable probe.

I printed a set of parts, and the the design seems elegant.

Look like nice prints. Wonder how the hinge approach of the kossel compares to the approach with the magnets? I mean, the latter looks very appealing to me.

Beautiful design, I am still planning the build of my 'next' machine, currently using a RepRap Air 2, but I am looking forward to building either a MendelMax or a Deltabot. Deltabot seems cheaper (1 less motor, and all stepper drivers are only controlling one stepper motor).

However, the reason why I want to build a MendelMax is because of the extrusions, but since this Kossel uses extrusions.. Maybe I should look into this model instead
