the k280 is economical weith 600mm build height , its a delta ..,. I know there is an economy 800mm delta out there, i just cannot find the link.or its been discontinued since i was searching large printers.https://www.3dprintersbay.com/he3d-k280-large-delta-3d-printer-kit

Design the stock to be printed standing on the butt end. I'm now considering that by just using taller upright rails and longer belts on an otherwise standard AnyCubic delta.
matter of fact, thinking about it now , you might not need to flash the firmware.. just alter the mechanics, and then change cura to reflect the new Z height.. the machine wont know better,.. So , aside from raw metal materials , this can me pulled off.. the gt2 belts and pulleys are dirt cheap on ebay
haahahaaa, awesome.. ID LOVE to see this ! .. I have my printer running right now , and I run my cnc machine in the garage while im on the couch during the day.So for me, once I know the g-code is correct, I really like walking away from the machine anyway,.. I did a 14 hr print , that was the longest one I did to completion.. I slept through 8 of it (-; a stock would likely be 50-70 hrs even at .2mm layer heightWhat are the mechanical challenges with the delta ??could you do it to the machine you have now ?? the anycubic ?
makes perfect sense.. as opposed to extending the extrusions on the roller model id imagine replacing them would improve rigidity greatly.. Not a bad project if the extusions can be found easily.. ~250 bux completed , and one could in theory print as full size marauder stock.. My concern , having printed as tall as 11 inches is the base to height ratio.. at some point on the way up , even with a massive raft , I can see it getting wobbly( im sure the extrusions could actually be slightly different specs since the roller assemblies are almost always adjustable , so a slight difference in rail size may not kill the project

There are some different versions (t-slot, v-slot, etc.).A good thing with delta printers is that the part remains stationary as it is built up. Unlike many of the Cartesian printers, the Deltas do pretty well on tall slender parts.
for anyone reading this in the future , its 66 bux for the 3 1200 mm 2020 rails to replace the stock oneshttps://www.ebay.com/itm/ZYLtech-2020-Aluminum-T-Slot-Aluminum-Extrusion-Black-1200mm-CNC-3D-Printer/322880748331?hash=item4b2d313b2b%3Ag%3AI50AAOSwX5ZbDD%7EN&_sacat=0&_nkw=1200mm+2020&_from=R40&rt=nc&LH_TitleDesc=0im almost positive these are the correct ones
looks the exact same in the pics.. im not sure
note to self..... keep these two separated.
