You need to do a lot of reading on the forums. Watch videos. I was interested in 3d Printing almost 3 years ago and have been researching. Then I saw the BerryBot early this year. I eventually decided on either a Kossel Mini or Cerberus Pup Delta. After ordering everything I'm at the point of adding my Magnetic arms and the configuration process. There is a lot of knowledge and understanding you need to acquire. All the reading and studying is nothing compared to when you are actually building. You come to problems and have to engineer your way out. Sometimes it moves VERY slowly. Obviously if you have help, or after 1-2 builds it will be second nature.
I just spent a week on the forums, trying to find out how to determine the arm lengths. But now I think I got that.
Good luck.
My recommendation would be to order a Delta Kit. Like the Kossel Clear by Blue Eagle Labs or the Kossel Pro. My original budget was in the $3-400 range. I've spent over $900. I think these ready to run kits are $600-800. And you'd save MONTHS ordering parts from china. The headache of fighting ebay sellers who try to send you one motor driver when you paid for 4. And in the end the savings was not that much. I really don't know how they can sell those Kossel kits so cheaply.
You can then after gaining experience custom build your own machine. You can even reuse the power, motors, and electronics.
Just a suggestion.
The Kossel Clear is a very nice machine. I saw it printing in person.
