http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4311

My reasons are:

1. I like bearing more tham bushings

and

2. I dont have any pla to print bushings with.

I've already started on one of the triangles. Ill let yall know how the build goes(lol if I ever finish) . Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Uses a version of Marlin for delta geometry and you add Panelolu equivalent for $50. They also sell 2nd extruder upgrade kits with all hardware necessary.

Building a rostock as a kit might still be a bit bumpy, however.

I at first thought about a rostock but I don't know since it seems to still be in the experimental phase.  I read the the Prusa Mendle is the easiest to build but I went to there github and couldn't figure out how to download the stls. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks smile
