How did you figure out your custom Delta rod length? I am definitely interested in your kit though. Can you cut custom lengths of aluminum tubing for you kit?
I have built a few delta printers now and found that delta rod length isn't too critical. Richrap's 0.8 of the distance between towers is a really good rule of thumb. In Cherry Pi II that would have meant 250mm but I reduced it by 50mm as I wanted to retain a larger build height. It prints great. Probably a little on the small side as, ocassionally, at the extremes of the print area I have had a magnetic connector disengage. I will probably split the difference and go to 225mm. Simple to do.
I can cut the tubes to whatever length is required. Same goes for colours for the printed parts, addition of FSR probing, LCD display, etc. it's all customisable (is that even a word? :) )
