What other printer can I make with the parts from a Reprappro Mendel

Hi all

I bought a Reprappro Mendel about 3 years ago which I have since retired but still have all the hardware for including the Melzi board. Can anyone recommend a printer I could make from the parts? I'd like to make something other than a Mendel, I have access to a Printrbot Simple Metal and lots of PLA. I'm looking for something on the easy end of the spectrum to make. Here's the documentation for the Reprappro Mendel if its helpful [reprappro.com]

Thanks

John

I have been thinking this kind of frame for i3 parts (a big image takes to load):
That cube type frame is stable and easy to cover and etc. No further plans yet...

Wow that's certainly ambitious but why not? I met the guys from Gigabot a few years ago with one of their machines and it looked amazing. Are their clear plans or a kit I could buy for a large scale printer? I should just say I don't have $1000s to spend
