Will pay for 3D parts for Mendel [$$]

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

There's a forum for selling reprapped parts: [forums.reprap.org]. Also, check in ebay.

I sell Commercial RP parts $500/set, or the whole kit for $1000.00

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.
