some questions for everyone here:
- If you have a delta printer, what do you like about it?
- Which delta printer do you have? Is it pre-build or a kit?
- What firmware do you use?
- If you have a delta and a cartesian, which do you prefer and why?
- What things do you find really frustrating about delta printers?
Thanks in advance!

2. Which delta printer do you have? Is it pre-build or a kit?Quote
Easy to put together, bed is stationary.
3. What firmware do you use?Quote
I have a Rostock Mini Pro kit from 3D Printer Czar that I have since upgraded to an E3D v6 hot end from the cheap chinese J-head clone that came with it and added an FSR leveling kit from Utlibots. I also have a 170mm heated bed I have been planning to add for the occasional printing in ABS and just purchased a 32-bit Duet 0.85 to replace my 8-bit RAMPS board.
4. If you have a delta and a cartesian, which do you prefer and why?Quote
Currently using Rich Cattel's testing branch of Marlin 1.02 (?) for the auto-calibration routine. Will move to DC42's RepRap Firmware once I upgrade the controller.

Calibration. Issues when trying to use 12864 LCD panel with 8-bit board on a delta printer. Calibration. Support for Rostock Mini in a Kossel Mini world. Did I mention calibration?
