I am curious to know if this is a good kit to buy or not. I am wanting the experience of building my own 3d printer but not 100% sure i want to source everything for a reprap. I need to keep it at or about $200USD please. this is for a school project. I would like the printer to actually work and not a be a paper weight haha. any one use this one?

thanks
This is the only delta kit I would consider not the greatest but certainly usable. I do not really have space or need for another printer so have not purchased.

another option it ships from USA and the anycubit is a more or less proven brand.

Another possible option this does not have the aluminum corners of the first kit . is is pre assembled and has been on e bay for something close to a year so he may accept a lower offer. shipping will be more as it is pre assembled.

As always no recommendations or endorsements read reviews buyer beware etc.
I do have experience with the Folgertech Kossel that Tin Falcon linked to, and it is a decent kit for the money. Yes, it is more than what you really want to spend, but in truth, most anything in that $200 range is probably not going to be of decent quality.
Also going to suggest that building a delta/kossel as your first printer is probably not the wisest course of action - they are not easy to set up and calibrate.
a far better option would be this one: https://folgertech.com/collections/3d-p … rinter-kit
I built that one as my first kit printer (i already had a Solidoodle 4, but wanted to build one) and it is a pretty easy, straight forward build - and closer to your price point.

Thank you much for posting that. I forgot about FT. Im thinking of getting the prusa clean for 279. yes, its a little more but worth the cost AND i have the stls so i can print the parts for it now on my CR10
do not - i repeat - do NOT buy the acrylic one!!
Acrylic is not stable or strong enough! I can't believe they are even still selling that one - it is NOT worth the extra money.
get the 2020 version and you will be MUCH happier.
i bought and built mine in late 2015 - used it, dragged it around to various shows and ultimately ended up selling it - shipping it to another state. the person that bought it used and abused it, and ended up passing it on to someone else.. and it is STILL going.
Another option is the Anycubic 4MAX kit if you can find one. I bought one for $200 shipped and it is the best printer I have had and have had many. They are enclosed and I was able to print as low as .025 layer heights on mine. It also has a large 210 x 210 x 300 build area and heated build plate.
