Starting a new thread as the monoprice one was kinda getting off topic.
  I have 2 flsun super racers. Got them when they were cheap.  The frame is solid as a rock. Everything has worked great except the hot ends. They seem to break down for one reason or another. All the blocks for the paint holder system I made for my son were printed on one. I do love watching a delta run!
All in all I have 8 printers (not all operational ), with just the 2 being deltas.

I ran a couple of spools of PLA through a SeeMeCNC Eris mini delta, which I got on close out at MicroCenter.

It was a cool, inexpensive little printer, that never sold well.

I never had a single failure with it.

I still have my FLSun Q5. I plan to upgrade the board, and I have a Raspberry Pi with screen I'm going to make a controller pad. Great little printer, has really great print quality even if it's a bit slow.

Well most printers at the time were 50-60mm/sec, I could get this to about 110. Which today is pretty slow.

It’s painted, black dry brushed with copper and gunmetal for the teeth. 

I also like this snailien print I did on it

Wow dude - that skull looks INSANE! It also looks to be multiple colors - especially the silver looking teeth. Also, I thought Delta's were supposed to be REALLY FAST Printers!?!?!?

Deltas are still so much fun to watch.

If I were to build a kit, it would either be a baby belt or a Delta — just for the eye candy

A baby belt....lol, that sounds cute.  I have a roll of 6" kapton tape from the old days of bed adhesion. I wonder if a belt could be made with that. Too many ideas, too many projects, I need to clone myself first.
