I haven't directly compared with another printer. I'll be building a Kossel mini soon though which you might also want to look at as an option.Quote

Thank you for the reply! I actually have one of these :-) have you been able to compare your results with other printers?
Oh, and is there anything you don't like about the Mendel90? Thanks so much in advance!

Hey!
Thanks for the help so far. First of all, i just asked Nophead via mail and found that the kit would be 880$ if i get it in the US and 1100$ if i get it in germany. Thats a whole lot of money seeing the Makerfarm and other offers.
The whole kossel design seems interesting! Unfortunately, prices arent that much cheaper: they range at approx 500$.
Thank you for the 10" hint, that night be a good Option. I will read further on the i3 printer to understand it a little bit more.
Thank you as well for the Phoenix hint, i will search for some more information, experiences and print results on that device. It is not a reprap, is it? And besides that it is not an open source design sold by an arbitrary company but more their 3d printer, I think.
What prerequisits does one have to fulfill in order to selfsource an i3 for <= the Printrbot price? For me, even all the shopping costs for the parts seemed to be pretty high.
When do intend to be finished? I would really appreciate getting your parts list since the webpages on the reprap Website and the given partslist there are not quite clear to me.
Of course, self sourcing is the only and Bests way to me. But i am tending to plan everything into the deepest detail what often results in not actually starting the whole thing. Furthermore, using independent sources for the stuff scares me a little bit since i am just know sure how that whole thing works out.

That would be perfect! I am in the US for 5 more weeks, so plenty of time to decide!
Do you have access to a printer so that you can print some of the parts? It would only save you about $35 however.

Not as far as I am concerned. A guy offered me to print stuff like 1/2 year ago so more something very uncertain. Do you mean $35 versus buying them?

Buying them would cost about $35 with free shipping. Printing them with your own filament would be much cheaper.

Hi everybody!
@pisquaredtau: Have you been able to proceed in your setup?
The point to make my decision comes closer. Still, I am tending to get the Makerfarm 10'' version due to some good reviews and people being happy about that kit. Of course, there are many specifications I am not quite sure about.
Here are my most recent questions:
Q0: What do you think about the Replikeo offer at this point?
Q1: What hot end should I get from the makerfarm page?
Q2: The one of my last post. Thus, is wood comparable to other materials offered?
Q3: What is the EiNSTein design. what are the major differences to the one offered at makerfarm?
Q4: Doing some research, I found quite a few i3 kits for around 400$ (e.g. see Q0). What distinguishes the makerfarm version is the "v" - version. Is this feature as stable as I am tempted to think?
Hope, you can help me out! That'd be great and I am happy about any help!
Bests, Martin :-)
