Nice, but I have some reservation about this specific design with plastic corner and gt2 6mm for that size of a printer if you plan to upgrade it later ( that what we do here,upgrade all the time or switch to another build, building a 3d printer is addictive ) you must look into replacing all plastic part with metal and use 9mm belts. They dont sell some prefab for 40X40 corner but some design can be adapt to work on those ( mine for example, made of L shape 1/2 aluminum is one of them)
But unless you trying to sell it at 2500$ like this dude tried in reddit 3d pritning for the same exact printer saying nothing can be build better, I wont be a bitch about it
Also that BOM exclude the Duet in the electronics parts option...The very best firmware for delta ( ReprapFirmware) its a shame.
PS: Next time you cutting or drilling into carbon, go outside where your children dont play to do that and wear glove and a mask or if inside go gently over a wet surface not with power tool ( if you can), this stuff is very bad for lung and if you get some bits entering your skin they wont come out and keep pushing inside your flesh. I say that because on your picture there a lot of black mark and stuffs on your table if its carbon mess its scare me a little.

Impressive! I like what you did with your wiring. Any plans to enclose?
Thanks. Possibly but i doubt it. Its mostly my PLA/TPU printer. IT would require over 900 watts to heat this bed.

The plastic corners are fine, and I think my prints speak for themselves.
Im not trying to sell this printer. Do you have a link for the one that is for sale? I think I might know him...
As for drilling the carbon, I did it out in the garage on the work bench.

I do not have the link simply because the poster remove it after some ppl point out the ridicule price he was asking for a used printer and his claim about crazy speed and that there is not much that can be build better...Off course as a delta owner it was my duty to point out his flaw in the design after this bs statement and list many thing that can be build better so he remove it.
As you know its not because its bigger that you can ask a ridicule price, delta scale easy for a couple more lenght of extrusion and belts, the price should reflect the quality of the part used and the design, not the size.
I think his name was dmez or something like that.
Btw its not to critize your printer, you did not claim your is the best like he did, we all know there always someone somewhere that do thing (or design) better. The perfect printer just dont exist, we all have flaw somewhere whatever the design.

Well this is horses for courses. I built my large delta using metal everything and whilst it does print well, the difference between it, and my kossel mini in terms of print quality is perhaps 30-40% better, despite it costing at least £1000 to build, and obviously many, many hours of my time. Plastic corners can work fine if they are printed well and of suitable size and quality. That being said Chinese versions of aluminium corners that I am using were reasonable to buy and are very much up to the job.
The machine shown above on ebay would at a certain price be a reasonable kit of parts that could be rebuilt into a really nice machine but it has unfinished project written all over it. I suspect whoever built it took on a machine like this without spending enough time or money, or having accumulated the expertise or patience to built it well. I would not have jumped into building a large delta as my first printer, it would have been a very frustrating experience.

I think its a shame because if you start steadily and build up your knowledge and skills then you can get an immense amount of fun, satisfaction and beautiful parts from reprap style 3D printing. But as I have said to people in the forum asking where they should start, if you haven't got an engineering or electronics background build a decent kit that's known to work and will contain all the parts etc... then move on to something more ambitious like a self sourced kit or your won design. I'm sure some can jump straight in at the deep end, but if you don't swim good - you sink.
