General Mach Discussion / Re: Using Mach 3 for a Rostock Delta printer
« on: February 16, 2014, 05:09:27 AM »
Hi Gary,
Just my opinion…
Assuming a clever programmer could write a Mach 3 plugin to control the Delta, you are then likely to have a non-standard system unable to take full advantage of the existing CAD/CAM software tailored specifically for that design of machine.
It’s still early days yet and they are just starting out but you may like to check, from time to time, what some of the other guys are doing here with constructing their delta’s http://openbuilds.com/?category=3d-printer-builds&id=272
