why choose kossel design?

a few main reasons I chose a Kossel design (as well as the prusa.. the prusa is meant for big wide prints, the kossel I got for tall prints. Even the Kossel mini is rated to 24cm high)

1. Parametric design. Once you build one, building a bigger one is easy.
2. There is now heated round beds for them, so ABS is ok now.
3. When they are set up correctly, there is absolutely no backlash, no stitching marks... its perfect prints.
4. Only 3 stepper motors for each of the sliding arms.
5. Less power required.
6. less desk space required.
7. Build diameter 170mm. My heatbed element is 160mm.. A flashforge is 220mm.. but my hotbed is so warped, only really 150mm of that has ever been truly usable.

I just spent thousands of dollars in the past couple weeks on parts to build probably about 4 machines (I went a but nuts... drunken ebay splurge... ) And all I can say is "Told you so Flashforge"

They could have had another happy customer, but decided to be your usual "pop in and say we have a sale" type company.
