Saw these design themes for deltaprintr.com

I thought they were interesting. No Calibration? Hmmm.

Fishing line - should be interesting to see how that works out. Doesn't it stretch in high humidity?

I believe they use the braided stuff.

"Spiderwire" amazing stuff. You can catch walleye's on it too! :) :lol: if you can get the son outta bed :lol: Really hard to keep a knot tied in though?

Yes, spiderwire is amazing stuff...at making a mess in a baitcaster, and dammit sometimes when you get hung up you WANT the line at the end to brake. Impressive stuff indeed.. I hope it is spectra fishing line they are intending to use instead of nylon monofilament, although I don't know much about the fluorocarbon monofilaments besides they are better than nylon :P.

Yes, most people who use thread for motion control are using Spectra. The Cerberus printer is one example; Polygonhell also did some experiments with it.

Theirs is one of the better Rostock printers on Kickstarter. They are selling it REALLY cheap assembled. I don't know if they will be around long, though. I don't think they're building the cost of outsourcing into their retail price, which means that if something crashes on their production line (LOL... "if") they'll wish they had. I want to get one of these printers and I wouldn't mind paying more for it if I thought the company was likely to be around for awhile. (Not that I don't like the MAX, but they take a good minute to turn from a flat pack into a functioning printer.)

They don't mention in the brochure what firmware they are using but they are using Repetier Host. It it auto-calibrates, auto-levels or whatever you want to call it, they are most
likely using Marlin.
