This is the only Delta style machine to make a strong showing in the best 3D printer chart. The Kossel is a DIY 3D printer kit from the RepRap stable, and it ships with an auto-leveling build platform and can print at a resolution of 30 microns. Because the project is open source, a multitude of custom upgrades can easily be found online, including a Kapton heated print-bed and an LCD control panel.
