Wolfstock vs CherryPi 3

The CherryPi 3 just got released and from what I gather it looks very similar to the Wolfstock I had a mind. The flexibility of the whole Delta platform allows to exchange elements freely.

  • The brackets are the same. 
    • For my size I will need the double Vslots, so i use the one from the Wolfstock. 
    • The carriages could be exchanged from one model to another.
      • The one from the CherryPi looks a tad more solid.
      • Whether the belt tensioner is on the frame or of the carriage doesn't make much difference. 
        • The Wolfstock has a neat mechanism which will tension the whole upper roller.
        • The hotend mount will be adjusted by everyone anyway for the preferred method of cooling and hotend. 
          • If I come around to bed leveling ill print me the CherryPi one.

          New ways - the Wolfstock

          I´ve decided to abandon the Eventorbot. After I calculated that I needed at least 100€ more to make the machine work properly I checked what different frames would cost.

          There aren´t many frame kits but once I looked up the Delta design and also found out how cheap aluminum extrusions are I decided on the Wolfstock http://wolfmanjm.github.io/wolfstock/



          There isn´t much published about this machine so I will leave my opinions along the way.
