I've been considering a Delta for a while now.. They'd be perfect the stuff I make.
Curious, what kind of accuracies are you expecting with it?

Now to clean up the wiring, add a base, add a filament holder, and calibrate the sucker

Beefed up the carriage:

Added endstops to the idler:

finished the effector for the E3Dv6 and finished the physical side of the build:

All that's left is the electronics (crosses fingers) and the calibration (prepares the sacrifice for the 3d printing Gods)...

As of right now, it is right at $700 for everything.  You could probably cut down build cost by going with a different extrusion size, different controller (smoothieboard is still not a definite choice), and different printing surface (using the Onyx because heating surface is 12v and I don't have to order on E-bay)

Most of the screws and nuts I ordered in packages of 100 so that I could cut down on individual costs.

www.ultibots.com has been pretty awsome at getting my parts to me in a timely manner and answering questions

www.openbuilds.com has been not so good with getting parts out, but I liked the design of their extrusion and they had sketchup files for parts.  Unfortunately the last couple of times I have checked, the links for the files have been broken

Amazon is Amazon.  Quick turn around and you can get most anything.  All of my purchases there give to the wounded warrior project, so that doesn't hurt either.
