I know someone who can print me my Mendel's parts. I've downloaded all the stl files associated with Mendel. This page also has some details: [objects.reprap.org] But what I need to know is how many of EACH of those stl parts I need to print. Does anyone know where or have a convenient list? I don't want to miss a part and have to bug my friend (who wants to print all the parts in one shot). Please let me know fellow reprappers! Your help is much appreciated. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,31072,31072#msg-31072 Wed, 07 Oct 2026 18:17:23 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,31072,31091#msg-31091 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,31072,31091#msg-31091
Actually my friend is going to print it for free. But he can only do this favour for me once. So I have to make sure I can give him all the parts at once. It's a commercial printer.]]> jachyra Reprappers Fri, 04 Dec 2009 09:11:41 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,31072,31074#msg-31074 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,31072,31074#msg-31074
EDIT: 'grab the files from subversion, they're named frame_vertex_6off.stl which tells you that you need 6 of them' - Triffid_Hunter

2) Are you printing the parts on a generic commercial 3D printer? That's going to be crazy expensive ~1000 USD, for just the plastic.

A RepRap could do it for much less, but I sense a boot strapping problem. :)

I highly recommend you look into buying a CNC-ready router or CNC-ready mill, if you're going to spend $1K.

If you buy a Taig mill (~1KUSD, pre-motors, pre-electronics), for example, you'll have something that you can still use as a milling machine, along with as a RepRap.]]> SebastienBailard Reprappers Fri, 04 Dec 2009 02:14:46 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,31072,31072#msg-31072 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,31072,31072#msg-31072
