Well the beauty of the Deltas is that upsizing is simpler than with cartesian printers. There is an exel file floating around with lets you calculate the base triangle, arm length and height etc for any diameter bed.

I myself are working on an upscale wolfstock and I had my size only limited by the length of available Vrail extrusion, but since the brackets stay the same and the alu extrusion doesnt bend under its own weight, you´re good.

I have a copy of the excel file, however its cumbersome to use. I have been using this for my calculations. Take things with a grain of salt though and add a coefficient of error. [www.thinkyhead.com]
