Arduino 2500 + Ramps V1.4 + Repetier Firmware 0.91 For The Delta'Q 3D Printer Proposal.
Yes. As the title says, We will be building a Delta, Kossel, Rostock 3D Printer.I am very excited with this project, as i understand the delta configuration are the most fasttest, coolest and among the hardest printer to set up to date. With that in mid, I will, at my very best, be documenting all the steps taken to building this 3D printer.
DELTA'Q 3DX
This Will be a mix steps documentation, taken for my reference only.
So Lets Start With The Firmware ( Repetier Firmware 0.91 )

This configuration file was created with the configuration tool. For that
reason, it does not contain the same informations as the original Configuration.h file.
It misses the comments and unused parts. Open this file file in the config tool
to see and change the data. You can also upload it to newer/older versions. The system
will silently add new options, so compilation continues to work.
This file is optimized for version 0.91
