    I agree!!! And if there is a Delta Printer in the mix, that should be awarded to the best Firmware Enhanced 3D Printed piece.

    All joking aside:

    I would strongly encourage... that almost without exception... Nothing wins unless it is submitted with full source code.

    They way they move.... They can really benefit from and leverage firmware improvements! If that were to be a category, that would be the right reward for it.

    for sure.. they are hypnotic. I wonder what it's like printing on that round heatbed... so far everything I have seen form them is pretty impressive, even the clones look sexy.

    Too be sure they are hypnotic. But what nobody has done yet with the slicing programs is deliberately not keep the nozzle pointed straight down. With the right firmware (and slicer) the Delta Printers should be able to work straight out at a much steeper angle (without support material).
