Nallath, Having just hacked my configuration files to add a Kossel Mini profile, it appears the only missing ingredient would be the ability to set a circular volume shape for the printer bound visualization. We did this before with the following configuration taken out of my old Cura 15.04 config (which doesn't function as written, I tried):
"machine_shape": {"default": "Circular"},
A circular build plate stl model, zero-centered coordinate system, and the flavor of gcode are already in the existing configuration files for other printers, and behave as I expect on my Kossel. So my expectation is this is a very simple thing to support.

It's not as simple as you think it is. Just because it's easy to tell as system what needs to be done, does not mean it is 
The build plate for instance has no code to handle circular build plates, the scale to max assumes a box for the building plate, etc.
I do agree that it's possible (and doable), but it simply won't be done by Ultimaker. I think we already went above and beyond the call of duty in providing the software for free and easy to modify.
I think this can still be done to a fairly acceptable level using machine_disallow_areas to block off corner areas into semi-circular shapes on a square platform so that you can't accidentally place an object outside your circular build plate.
Not sure what the max number of sides those polygons can have, but you could probably get it fairly rounded.

Yup

There is no max defined. At a certain point it will have an impact of course, but that will take quite a while.

I have modified a JSON file to work with a delta printer. I have excluded a hexagonal pattern which is close enough to my circular build plate size, additionally I have modelled my build plate and added the file location to the JSON file to provide a bed representation in CURA. this could be modified further by other users to suit their personal requirements.
@bobd please post your json file plus instructions for the next person. Please post it somewhere that it will last for years and not some temporary hosting site like bitbucket. Maybe you have dropbox?

The old cura supported delta printers because someone put it there (eg; that wasn't a feature developed by ultimaker). As we don't have any delta printers we won't put resources in supporting it. I am willing to answer questions / help out in order to get delta support back.
I have three Ultimaker printer and I would like use Cura 2.1.3 with my Delta printer...
Have you any plan to solve this?
@oscar-santana, i belive the exact quote by @nallath you quoted pretty much sums it up, Ultimaker does not make (and do not have any plans to make) delta printers and therefore they cannot commit a lot of resources into making every feature of Cura work with the specific requirements of delta printers.
You can already slice with Cura and use it on your printer, you just cannot get a view with a circular bed and similar delta-only features.
Ultimaker does already do put down a lot of work in making Cura work well for every cartesian machine (not limited to Ultimakers) which really is going above and beyond, and you could say that it is a quite strange decision business wise, since they effectively are doing a lot of free work for the competitors who just rebrand Cura and pretend it is their own software without supporting the development at all... (yes, i am primarily thinking about Wanhao)
@nallath and most of the software team are usually very happy to answer questions if you would like to implement it yourself, you could even make a "delta-version" of Cura if you want, that is the beauty of open source :-)

Crea,
I'm not too busy at this time. I'd be happy to help.
Reply if you're interested and we can take this off-line and build something you can use.
Hi DaHai8
Did you ever build something to allow Cura to work with the Kossell Delta type printers. I trying to use the latest Cura on my Kossell 250 V-slot.
Thanks
Chuck

I never got a reply back, but I'm still available to help.
Looks like that printer's print area is 240mm diameter x 235mm tall
I can start working on it today and post the polygons here.

Fun with Polygons
I discover right off the bat that Cura doesn't support concave polygons. Bummer. So the poly count went up from 4 to 60!
Ok, maybe I overdid it, but here it is (for a 240mm diameter print bed):

I took a look at what would be involved.
It is fairly straightforward to make it seem that it is somewhat working, but there would be problems. Purely aesthetic problems like the darkened "unprintable areas" drawing a rectangle, but also bigger issues like the scale to max Nallath mentioned. Ultimaker simply cannot release it like this, because then we get angry support calls that we claim to support polar printers but it works shitty.
If someone wants to take my work to improve it, they are very welcome. I don't have time to dedicate to it to get it to work well enough (at least, not at the moment).

Here ya go!
This is for a 240x240 print bed. So if your bed is smaller, it may not show up:
I can't choose your printer after add this json file to Cura folder.
I also try to replace code in defined profiles but nothing changes.
Am I wrong at something ?
Cura probably doesn't like this line in my profile:
"platform": "Aurora_A3.stl"
It's a custom platform stl file to display my printer bed. Try removing that line.
Post your .json file with the disallow areas and I'll take a look. The ,json file format is really really picky.

Post your .json file with the disallow areas and I'll take a look. The ,json file format is really really picky.
Yes, I modified your json a little because I found some errors on log file (cura.log)

Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)
Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.-

Ultimaker Cura 5.6 stable released
ArunC posted a topic in UltiMaker Cura,
Cura now supports Method series printers!
A year after the merger of Ultimaker and MakerBotQQ, we have unlocked the ability for users of our Method series printers to slice files using UltiMaker Cura. As of this release, users can find profiles for our Method and Method XL printers, as well as material profiles for ABS-R, ABS-CF, and RapidRinse. Meaning it’s now possible to use either Cura or the existing cloud-slicing software CloudPrint when printing with these printers or materials-

The old cura supported delta printers because someone put it there (eg; that wasn't a feature developed by ultimaker). As we don't have any delta printers we won't put resources in supporting it. I am willing to answer questions / help out in order to get delta support back.
