Your entire printer will need to be custom.Quote

Thank you for the elaborate answer. I find the direct drive delta the most fascinating design, that's the reason I was asking.
My intention is to build and program a controller and motor drivers myself anyway (I got attracted to 3d printers while looking for some embedded programming project to do). If it starts to look that I'm successfull with these I think I'm going to try building it.

"Normal" deltas require additional spending for the linear motion, I guess this is one of the reasons I was looking for alternatives.

You seem to overestimate my abilities by a large margin My XMOS startup kit is due to arrive today, and I haven't programmed a microcontroller, save for a brief exercize with a PIC some 10 years ago.
A great concern right now for example is how am I going to soldier the driver chip in TSSOP-38 package, seems I'll have to do a refresher how to make PCBs at home. I never was very good at electronics, doubt it I'll be better now.
