Hello

I'm from Portugal and I'm trying to get some information on the 3D printer RepRap Mendel and I think that is a good choice for the price.

1. Where can I buy a complete kit of Mendel's latest release?
2. Kits come with installation instructions?
3. There is the possibility to extrude stainless steel?
5. The parts produced by Mendel in your opinion are good quality or have to be finished by hand.
6. What is the resolution of Mendel, which the minimum size of details that can produce. 1mm smaller?
7. There are manuals in Portuguese.
8. The software is intuitive and easy to use and needed some tips?
9. I have seen some pieces are produced by Mendel have very good quality and not others, these problems are easy to resolve to get a good quality?

Sorry for my English and my own questions but are important to me before purchasing any model.

Please let me help.

Hello and welcome

your English is fine, so take a look at reprap.org

then look at the Mendel section of this forum.

Expect to build up parts of Mendel, it's not really just a case of buying a fully working machine.

You will need to be interested in how it works or you will have an expensive toy you may not be able to use.

And I don't know of a single 3D printer that can extrude metal, but take a look at the SLS ( selective LASER sintering) section and you will find some more information on metal fabrication.

Good luck

Hi

Can you show me some pieces made with your Mendel to see the detail quality parts?

I would buy a fully assembled Mendel and I can see some parts produced.
