>Printing at 150mm/s really isn't all that fast, it has a knockoff volcano hotend.
150mm/s on a 0.4 nozzle and 0.2 layer height isn't going to cause trouble (only 12mm3/s), but it's not gonna print a violin at that rate either. 0.8 nozzle/0.4 layer height and you you're likely to kill the hotend, at the very least send it into thermal runaway - but it might print the violin fast enough. Alternatively, you could just Chad it out with a cartesian printer, 1.2mm nozzle, 0.6 layer height, printer go BRRRRRRR at 60mm/s - which is the superior option, really. Fuck compromising to make the hotend fast, just extrude more due to size.

I would like to do this community a service, by stating that deltas are, indeed, frankly, quite simply, trash.

Previously I've talked about having some weird temperature issues like the hotend not being able to heat up above 180 C when the fan was on and being really slow to heat up and severely degrading filament resulting in a horrid smelling smoke with PLA.
Well the new thermistor came today and I tried replicating the fan issue and was able to heat up the printer to 300 C without any issues...
This means that I've been printing PLA for quite some time at 300 C, thank god nothing bad happened.

Follow this thread for a few weeks then buy the printer that has the least troubleshooting posts in proportion to sales volume

Nozzle tightening is not fucking rocket science, unless you use fucken gorilla strength you wont snap it and since 1.5Nm is apparently enough pretty much anything you do you will be fine.
That is AS LONG AS the nozzle butts up against the heat break and not the heater block, that is literally the only thing you've gotta get right, as long as you do that, you're golden.

>Delta
Garbage.

>CoreXY
Granted but not as common as i3 kinematics. Yet? Idk. Some of my students are working on a huge volume printer (a few cubic meters) and coreXY wasn't an optimal choice in every single regard. Especially on the smaller scale (200x200mm) there's a decent chunk of cost savings to be found in the i3/Ender 3 style of kinematics, and if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Delta a shit
t. operator of the biggest delta ITT

are deltas even all that much faster? and not to mention that they'll still have the same hotends which is the main limiting factor for print speed

I think your maths are off. Also

Is it really a huge struggle to level a Photon's bed? I have an opportunity to get a barely-used one for $300 (because he hatred leveling the bed) and while I'm not intimidated by leveling the bed, I've only had a semi-auto leveling Cartesian FDM, a full-auto Delta FDM, and a Form 2 so I don't know dick about leveling a Photon bed.

We must secure the existence of our 3D-printers and a future of our cartesian system.

Anything but delta.

>Why?
Because the one delta printer I've had to work on as a school project has given me consistent trouble for over a year now. That may have had to do with the size of it (1000mm round*1450mm height), shoddy construction by the manufacturer, three years of maintenance by students (i.e., none), a lack of budget, poor upgrade decisions and my own crippling mental disability, but I hate them. It's the most convoluted, retarded way of moving an object in three axis and requires a careful balance act between head weight and extrusion, which means you almost have to do a bowden, which sucks on such a huge printer because I probably have the longest tube ITT, coming in at 1550mm. Even if the delta concept is good, so is the concept of IPA beer. I tried one of those once, it sucked, I prefer not to try them again.

>Nothing stops you from clamping a 10$ glass bed on it.
Round glass is hard to find and relatively expensive.
>Glass sucks
Fite me 1v1, I've almost exclusively used glass on our UM2's and I can get pretty much anything to stick except your mom (Z screw couldn't deal).
