Thanks, Rodw, looks great!
I really need a bigger faster 3d printer, my Elegoo Neptune Max gantry type printer doesn't always fit my projects... I'm inspired by an FLSUN S1 that I watched printing one day. It runs delta kinematics, and it runs so fast the print head is just a blur. Pretty much sounds like a clothes washer in fast spin cycle when it's printing.
I'm playing around with dimensions a bit. In my 3d sketch, the linear rails are 2000mm long and will be attached to the steel frame (not shown). The round build plate at the bottom is 750mm diameter. The delta legs carrying the print head will likely be aluminum round tube.
It will be enclosed and heated, build plate will also be heated. The three delta motors will be up on top outside the heated enclosure, driving the carriages up and down via gear belts.
The door will be something like polycarbonate. Two thirds of the sides will be sheet metal heavy enough so it doesn't sound like a tin can, that steel shell will probably be the main frame. One third of the sides will be the clear door spanning most of the distance between two rails.
I do not yet have any mass measurements for calculating speeds with. I will be happy if I can make it go faster than my Elegoo printer. I don't expect to win any races with that FLSUN S1, that thing looked like its delta legs might be carbon fiber.
