Kossel Mini?

I just recieved a Kossel Mini kit and was wondering what would be a good start point for using S3D with it? I see it has a delta configuration and was wondering how anyone else did getting this working. I will of course report back on any issues etc I have.

I don't know about the kossel but I have a Rostock Max v2. S3D works great with it.

i would go with one of the delta style printer profiles, then under settings change to your diameter. i dont have a delta style printer but i believe x and y dimensions should be the same as the correspond to diameter of the build platform.

Re: Kossel Mini?

You know what it was freaking easy! I love this software. I used pronterface etc to set it all up and run tests, I seemed to have issues with sending gcode, but it was my issue apparently.

Set my firmware to match, RepRap, I am using Marlin.
Under Options, I just selected Delta Robot. Set my build volume etc.
Set up my own processes and tada! Printed just great. well as great as a not completely tuned delta can. I really like that it's a lot faster than the FlashForge. Pretty cool.
