        <title>How to recycle a ReprRapPro MENDEL</title>
        <description> Hello All,

I bought a RepRapPro Tricolor Mendel v2 some years ago. I well used for 2 years until having issues with it. After that I bought an UM2 and then forgot my mendel while a certain time.

Today I&#039;d like to do something with this machine. I have some vitamins in stock as screws and M8 stings. I&#039;d like to get your experiences with this machine or similars in recycling or upgrading.

What do you think about ? What would be a good printer to rebuild with this old machine parts?

Thanks</description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Thanks for the answers. I started a while ago the Ikea Lack-style enclosure too but never finished (:P) Finally the best thing to do with this old machine is maybe to improve it. <br />

            <description><![CDATA[ I put the first Mendel I built in a Lack-style enclosure and use it for my ABS prints.  I just finished an overhaul of its extruder, worked around a blown mosfet, rewired it, re-squared and tightened the frame, and set up OctoPrint control/monitoring.  It may be worth doing similar, simply rebuilding it and dedicating it to specific prints/materials or making it part of a larger enclosure build.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ my first mendel was a rpp mendel and since them i 've built three of them. some of them ( 2nd and the 1st rpp ) did served me well but i dont own them any more. I am builting a 4th of them which was started on 2018 but left unfinished due to other projects. . Now i am rebuilting it i expect  to be able to print easily at more than 100mm/sec. keep in mind i am printing only ABS, which it needs to be slow if you dont have a chamber.<br />
<br />
it is a nice machine and easy to upgrade to moddyfied and it is a original reprap as it can really produce itself... i don't know what board does this mendel of urs has but if it isn't duet this is one easy upgrade you can do...<br />
<br />
some photos of my last ( 4th ) one .<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ Thanks, I started to have a look on it. It's a pity this project seems not to progress a lot and looks too close to a mendel for me.<br />
<br />
I'd rather like starting with a studier frame for this project (metal, plexy or mdf). I started to make designs with improvements reusing a maximum of old parts (mechanic, elecrtonic), but totally squeezing printed parts.<br />
<br />
I already started to modify Marlin to match a first design.<br />
<br />
If you have other suggestions they are welcome, I'll try on my side to create a new project if I can't find anything satisfactory.]]></description>
