Well at least you can calibrate deltas with klipper, unlike corexy it is not possible to calibrate it. Like at all, because 2 motors are used for single axis.
How many motors do you think a delta uses for a single axis?

I'm waiting for FLSUN S1 to be reviewed, this is really going to be a gamechanger.

It would need to be a gamechanger at $9,999.00 :lol:

Reagrding Corexy I'm not sure where you got the idea that Corexy can't print dimensionally accurate parts?

I suspect that I will probably pass on deltas due to the limited build volume.

As to calibration, I did calibrate my A30 when I first set it up. I also have a small CNC which follows the same type of calibration process.

CoreXY is a new concept for me but my limited research suggested that dimensional accuracy is pretty good:
https://all3dp.com/2/corexy-vs-cartesian-3d-printer-differences/
"CoreXY printers are considered very precise and accurate in their movements, allowing for improved dimensional accuracy on produced prints."

I also read a couple of articles about CoreXY calibration on the Prusa site:
https://www.printables.com/model/242018-corexy-calibration
https://www.printables.com/model/556196-calibrating-core-xy-printers-for-dimensional-accur
https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?397,530210

Please bear in mind that for me this is all theoretical as I have zero experience using CoreXY machines and I am making assumptions that these articles are good coming from the authors own printing experience with this type of printer. First look suggests that there is a little more work/time involved in calibration XY machines

I stand corrected, but what a stupid way to promote a product!
