Hey guys,

I am building a Mendel, and I am looking for a set of 3D parts to buy. The commercial Rapid Prototyping companies seem to charge too much, but I would also appreciate suggestions if you know of a good company.

Also, I am considering redesigning the Mendel to work with waterjet (possibly lasercut) parts. Unlike the current lasercut design, which is to make the 3D parts from 2D cuts, I would like to remove the need for so much 3D printed material. If you can provide me with cheap 3D printed parts I would be happy to share any early progress with you.

Best,
Phillip Daniel

It would also be nice to be able to find a sketch up with dimensions of the parts, so that you can at least fabricate them yourself.

Perhaps you could hint us which type of Mendel you mean. Sells Mendel? Prusa Mendel i2? Prusa i3? Mendel90? Only the latter two have a few parts which can be waterjetted.
