Choices!

After finally getting my I3 working well I am ready to start a new project. I want to build a larger printer with 2-3 extuders. Should I go with an X-Y or Kossel. I understand the XY system more, the Delta seems to be smoke and mirrors and magic!
I want to be able to print very accurate prints.

When you say large printer, do you mean tall or wide or both? What sort of things do you want to print? Why 2 or 3 extruders - for multi colour mixing or different materials? Is cost an issue?
-
Large format with the accuracy and speed of a small printer…
-
I want to build a "core cube" but using idex system. Need to search more, not much models in the horizont
-
My next project will be to build an interim machine to increase accuracy and build volume. My initial budget is 1000€ just to get it printing. I am looking at a 500cm heated enclosed build space, 2 extruders and a .2mm extrusion. I want rails and Flex3Drive. I am not sure what the initial hotend will be but that is easily upgraded. This will be a proof of concept system.
-
The framing system will be baked carbon fiber to which the rails will be attached. I have lots of CF and epoxy and if I make this a cube style I have some ideas to make the look much "sexier"! Whatever the hell that means!
-
Lol sounds interesting, looking forward to seeing the build.

Well as I am a sailing skipper and have a tight schedule from the middle of June till March it will be a slow process but I will try to update my progress. Going with the XY platform.
-
Maybe a non corexy with idex system. .4 for perimeters and .8 for infill.
