Very nice. Have you tested it with a weight on the platform? Those long arms will need a decent amount of torque to move the extruder, but it looks like you might be able to get some pretty good speeds, even with an extruder mounted. I look forward to seeing more.
That is impressive Johann! There will be be a 3D printer meetup on May 26th in Bellevue at StudendRND. We would love to have this unique reprap there. Let me know if you can attend www.facebook.com/events/378188422232793/

This is an early prototype of a delta robot 3D printer called Rostock.

Really impressive use of a delta robot! Thanks! Hope to see it soon as a kit, or as a kickstarter for that!
