Good work with the printer. I'm impressed. I've had a VERY large format delta for a few years but not done much useful with it. A few lightshades round the house (305mm diameter bed with a 400mm height, so yes, it's a big one. It's no doing a lot currently if someone was seriously interested in having one. My problem is the drawing, I can do basic stuff but the time required to draw the spotlight grilles just made it a no chance for me. I also have a Kinect V2 for Windows which I did some scanning with but the results were always a bit ropey. The hardware is incredible, the scanning software less so. I've also experimented with different materials and print heads. (I did spend 15 years in the plastics packaging industry and have a degree in material science and was the first person in the UK to extrude PLA on an industrial scale) Much of what I know has been superseded by the youtube generation practical, real experience (which is a good thing I learned TONS of stuff off the tinterweb).
