It was easy to build and get running.Also, this machine is fast, really fast! I have other machines that take 1hr to print what this will do in 25 mins with same settings, it flies, being a delta its super nimble andSo, to the build and process.Before starting, read the great included manual cover to cover a few times as there are important steps you may miss. Also watch a few assembly videos on utube, familarise yourself with the general process as if you miss a step you have to backtrack.Build quality is great and self assembly is basically joining the pre built top and bottom sections together with 3 support legs, with some simple wiring to plug in at the end, but if it is your first build, like any it will be a bit daunting, so join the FB groups for this machine class and there are helpful folks to help you , along with the Anycubic support team that help you if you need them by way of an included support card with Qcodes to scan to get to their sites.I amended the build process as I have shown in my pics, basically I fed the wires down the legs at the beginning with the included wire guide, and added the linear rails by lying them down and putting the T nuts in line with the holes then screwing the rails on in situ, was just easier for me. Regarding the wires you want as much as you can without adding tension of the wire through the leg, I left too much spare at the top end so my connectors did not reach the board, I found this out at the end of the build, so had to undo belts, take off the top section and feed more wire down, then put it all back together again. Make sure you feed the endstop wires through the little holes otherwise the the printer will sit on them.Once you have tightened up six bolts at the bottom and 3 at the top you have a built machine.... You then bolt the pre-assembled delta head onto the linear rail runners (no wheels here, this is top gear!) with 4 screws a rail - done. then you add the belts looping them as shown in my pic and you move to wiring, once you bolt on the PSU.Wiring the board is simple, just undo the retaining bolts a bit to get to the power wires screw blocks. This board takes in two supplies from the PSU, the long wires are for 11A and short for 5A supplies. The ends of the power wires are solid so no wispy wires to miss, it's all very safe, along with the covers over all connections on the PSU and extra isolation trunking from PSU to inside the printer.The wiring is a case of following the well illustrated guide, matching wires labelled (FAN 0) to a socket marked (FAN 0) on the board, that's it.... Install the hot bed last and then tidy up the cabling and screw down the bed so it is central and very very secure.Once you have double checked everything, then again, as you don't want a big bang, check the PSU is set to 230V and not 110V !!! You have been warned......Now power on, follow 3 pages at the end of the book, first page is finding the height of the Z for your machine, you need to add the probe that attaches magnetically to the print head and connect a simple wire connector. Once this finishes the machine resets. second page is auto leveling, basically a repeat of first step but the printer knows where the bed is now. Once that finishes, you set the Z offset as per the book and you nearly done,Final page is the most important in the book, if you miss it out you doomed!! You need to fine tune the Z gap as per the book. I used an Anycubic Kossel Plus Cura profile for this machine off thingiverse (and not Deltabot as the manual says) to slice a benchy using recommended settings from the book with a .2 layer height. Started printing but was too much gap, so you Pause, press Z-1 and resume, pause, Z-1 and repeat until you get a first layer going down well. Then press Store so the printer knows where to start printing.Clean off the print head from filament that was dragging around, start printing again and the printer finds exactly the layer height for first layer (0.3 is good).The benchy in the photo is the first print off the machine (one hour after finishing the build!), at 0.2 layer height it is as smooth as if it has been sanded!With no Z wobble from cartesian or core xy machines that I own and they do make their mark with layer changes, the 100% stock Kossel Linear Plus print is amazing for the first one and once tuned up it will go even faster and maybe even some improvement in the prints, but it is already printing better than more expensive machines. This is with no combing, z hops or other special features, just basic retraction and the print is great.If you look on thingiverse there are some extras to look over, some stepper covers to protect the belt drives and top covers to do the same are recommended and my next prints.Overall, as this is my sixth printer and so experienced in making and running machines, along with tuning and modifying them, I must say I have a new favorite that I am just amazed by at the price.Definitely a recommended buy if you looking at the mystical world of Deltas! Can't wait to start tuning my profiles to get this machine running to perfection.

The printer arrived very well packaged and the contents undamaged. Construction took a while longer than when putting together a standard Cartesian type printer but the enclosed printed manual (unusual these days) made the job very straightforward. The only minor difficulty I had was fixing the end stop switches as the small M2.5 screws supplied were either of a soft metal or defective in some way as the heads were prone to turning making them very hard to tighten (or loosen). Fortunately I had some with hardened heads and with these secured the switches successfully. After visiting the Anycubic website I updated the firmware to the latest available and proceeded with the bed leveling. After a couple of efforts to get the Z offset correct I found that by heating the bed only before doing the final 'Bed Leveling' in section 3, the new Z offset was correct and didn't need further adjustment. After that the printer has worked flawlessly and I have just finished a 27 hour print that came out perfect as far as I am concerned. So impressed am I at the print quality for the price of the printer that I have today ordered another! One tip I would have for anyone newly building one of these machines is to ensure the end stops on all three uprights are at the same height, one of mine was a couple of millimeters out which was one reason for the problem I had with auto-leveling.

I bought this as I wanted to try a delta printer, having built several Cartesian types. First impressions were of a well packaged, well manufactured product. The instructions were good and the official Anycubic youtube assembly video was handy to watch too. My only gripe with this machine is how flimsy the frame appears to be once assembled, this was easily rectified with corner braces which I found online and printed on another printer. Once braced I have to say this Printer is incredible, the print quality and speed are exceptional. I would suggest fitting an SD Card extender as the original slot is fiddly. Bet adhesion is brilliant, without the need for glues or tapes. All in all I'm very happy with it now I've made the relevant modifications.

If you are new to 3D printing, I would advise that this is not for you.The main reason being is that is in kit format, so needs to be built from the bottom up and then configured.If you are not new to 3D printing, carry on reading!First impressions of this are great. Good quality components, labelled clearly and with step by step instructions, easy to assemble!The auto bed levelling feature is great, so means you don't have to level the bed as often. Comes with a heated bed too which doesn't take long at all to get up to temp.Comes with everything you need to get it up and running and the first print I have had is great!The size of this machine is good too, its not too big or too small, so you will be able to get some big prints from this.I am currently in the process of printing aesthetic upgrades for this, to give it a bit of colour.Overall, a quality printer that produces quality prints and with good speed too!
