Hello Reprappers! My name is Marius and I am searching for a cheaper alternative to the plastic parts sold at mendel-parts.com because I think 260€ is way too much. I already did some research and found the Isaac parts and the Lasercut Mendel parts. I would also use one of those sets if I could be sure that they worked with the Full Mendel Kit sold at Mendel-parts. My question is now: Can I use one of those Kits (https://shop.grrf.de/mendel-laserholzbausatz-p-280.html or [www.flemingcnc.com]) together with the Mendel-parts Kit? If so, what is different when I build it (I didn't find a good differences list for the Lasercut Mendel, just the small one from its wiki page). If not: Who can produce all plastic parts including the ones for Adrian's geared extruder for me? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?95,65531,65531#msg-65531 Sat, 10 Oct 2026 20:03:03 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?95,65531,65583#msg-65583 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?95,65531,65583#msg-65583
There might be a reason a Teckzone Remix full kit is $250/$450 less than the other two commercially available Mendel kits.]]> spacexula Wanted Sat, 06 Nov 2010 18:49:43 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?95,65531,65571#msg-65571 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?95,65531,65571#msg-65571 here are in the parts set for putting together a standard printed machine. The laser cut set uses a few less parts than you would in assembling a printed plastic set, so if you get the complete kit and later want to print parts and change out to the printed ones you would need a few more nuts, bolts, etc. Hope this helps, feel free to message me if you have any other questions.]]> smurf Wanted Sat, 06 Nov 2010 13:38:42 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?95,65531,65539#msg-65539 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?95,65531,65539#msg-65539
The parts seem to match when you look at his posted BOM and the standard Menel BOM, but I might have missed something.]]> spacexula Wanted Fri, 05 Nov 2010 22:18:19 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?95,65531,65534#msg-65534 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?95,65531,65534#msg-65534
I don't know much about Laser cut, but if you're interested we have sets 1 each of blue and black in ABS, and 1 in natural PLA with black ABS extruder, X and Y carriage parts. We sell our printed sets for 250 US that's currently about 178 EUR. Not sure what the shipping would cost from Canada?]]> Bruce Wanted Fri, 05 Nov 2010 19:38:14 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?95,65531,65531#msg-65531 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?95,65531,65531#msg-65531 My name is Marius and I am searching for a cheaper alternative to the plastic parts sold at mendel-parts.com because I think 260€ is way too much.
