Background
Mixtape Mendel is designed from the ground up to be as parametric as possible. It is inspired by the work of many people. Current development is being done in the github repository. The current focus is on a complete version 0.2 release. To do so we are working on ironing out the configuration files for a Mendel and Huxley class printer, as well as completing the tool head designs. We want to make it as easy to specify what you are going to use in the configuration file.
Design Goals
- Use 1.75mm filament
- Support double extruders/multi tools.
- Support a Sharpie mount for easy PCB etching.
- Have a better printable volume to printer volume ratio.
- Simple and complete configuration file.
