Kossel-XL is a parametric delta robot 3D printer, based on Kossel printer (by Johann).


Design Goals

  • Kossel-XL is commercial printer shipped as upgradeable kit for Kossel Mini printer.
  • This page discribes bill of material used for build Kossel-XL printer from scratch.
  • With Kossel-XL, You're able to print bigger objects than on standard Kossel thanks to the bigger round glass.
