3D model description

Hi, I'm introducing you Foldy, a foldable delta 3D Printer!
Since I'm touring around working as a show technician, I needed a portable 3d printer, but since i like deltas, I've designed this wonderful foldable 3d printer!

It's some month ago I started taking this printer around inside a Stanley Tool Box like this: https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B002V4SS3Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and also if I was worried it didn't last a lot, it's still alive and working!
I'm sorry, due to lack of time, I still don't have a good video to post, but I'll do it soon.

I can setup the printer in 5 minutes, it's just a mean of unfold and let the auto-locks set, screw 3 bolts on the heatedbed and plug the heatedbed, the LCD and the power switch.
It doesn't have an autocalibrate switch, but i'll add it, as soon as I can.
The mainboard is a normal ramps1.4 with repetierFW, but I like mk4duo... have to upload..
In the drawings there's no end effector, because I adapted what I had. As soon as I draw a better one, i'll put here too. it is working with a flying extruder, which can remain set when folding. I can also print flex filaments with that!

If someone want to make it, or to modify it, please let me know what comes out!

More pics to come..
