I guess I don't get it. It is still a delta. What is the purpose of the cube around the delta arms?
Looks cool as hell, but there are still only 3 arms. A Hexagonla printer would have 6 arms would it not?

Will 6 arms give you more precision?

I think the whole point is to give each tower its own diagonal brace for rigidity. Not sure that there's an advantage, but it sure looks neat.

What if there were 6 towers? ....

If you did that, maybe you could use one arm for each tower instead of two...
