I believe the first image is the standard design of the Rostock printer. I did my research last month and I have finished building my Delta printer, now I am fine tuning my configurations.
My design uses:
Ramps 1.4
Arduino Mega 2560
Nema 17 steppers (6 pins but I only use 4 pins)
Reprap Discount Full Graphics Smart Controller (SD card slot not working on Marlin yet, but I love the screen)
Now I designed my layout a little different, but that's the best part about building, as long as you keep the basic angles.
I would suggest using Styrofoam to design your printer before making your first cut on your real material of choice.

Thank you very much. I love the suggestion of using Styrofoam first. I will be doing that soon. I am curious what is the height of yours from end stop to where the build plate lives. I bought 920mm rods for mine.

IMHO the smooth rod should only be a carrier and not a support structure, I realize this is going against the design goal to have as few parts as possible, however I think its a necessary evil.
Also what length rods are you using for you enlarged build surface? Any calculation you can share?
