Topic: Any interest in a 1st Revision mini Kossel from FT?

I have a Foldgers Tech fist revision mini Kossel. It has an upgrade B3 Pico Hotend and running on and Axteeg X3 which is based on Smoothieware. By first revision I mean maybe the third one they sold in the US.


It is assembled and mostly calibrated.. The flatness calibration is making me go mad and at this point I would rather sell it. I have installed Spring loaded screw in the heated bed to aid in the leveling and flatness but it still alludes me and I have lost interest in it after getting my Ct'c dual head. I really no longer have a need for the Delta and will consider letting it go for reasonable offers. This is not stock, we all should know what the Pico, Azteeg, and Viki II LCD are worth alone so please consider this in your offer even if you only plan to use it for parts.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!
Anycubic 4MAX best $225 ever invested.
Voxelabs Proxima SLA. 6 inch 2k Mono LCD.
Anycubic Predator, massive Delta machine. 450 x 370 print envelope.

So I guess everyone else hates trying to calibrate flatness just as much as I do.

Just for the record this one uses linear rails that the tower carriages are mounted on. Very smooth action and none of the alignment issues the newer version had with the carriages mounted on roller bearings.
