nonaak,
I have examined the replacement idler part you suggested. It's probably a good idea, it will hold the idler bearing much better.
The only potential issue I see is that the hole for the idler bolt is not centred, have a look at that picture (the new one is the top one) :
Do you think it's a problem ? I can probably fix it by modifying the scad source if you prefer it centred.
Most of my technical comments should be correct, but is THIS one ?
Anyway, as a rule of thumb, always double check what people write.

Ok, no problem with delayed answer, I'm going slowly too anyway.
I've printed a few parts, and also maybe found something cheap and strong for the lasercut parts : I gave a try to laser cutting salvaged lcd screen back-lighting plates, which seems to be made of PMMA ("plexiglas") :
There are two possible problems with it :
1) it's 8 mm thick, it should make it stronger but can be a problem if your bolts are too short.
2) one of the sides of the plates is "printed" with a "dot matrix" (zoom on the picture ot see it) which is meant to diffuse light, it makes it not 100% clear but could help if you want to illuminate your machine. I've filmed a few seconds of it being lasercut for the "light show" effect : [youtu.be]
The nice point for you if you are ok with those plates is, I recycled those, so the material costed nothing.
Please let me know if you are ok with the plates on that picture or if I should go and buy a "brand new" plexiglas 6mm plate and cut it.

Hallo DeuxVis,
super cool that firework-laser-cutter
Burn BURN....
(Was it not a problim to cut diffuse plexigless with a laser cutter?, maby the laserbeam go everyware you don't want)
Yes i like the diffused plexiglass it give a cool effeckt whit color leds.
So yes i will have it, no problim. And for the bolts its not a problim to.
I have all the hardware together now, i have some lineair bearings from HongKong (its not the best bearings, but for the beginnging they are ok).
But do not hurry, just take your time
.
today i tray my old mendel again, but it is a drama, so muts problims hardware and firmware, not funny anymore.

Hallo DeuxVis,
Hi DeuxVis all is well with you?. 
I've been a while that i hear from you. And you from my
I wondered if all that succeeds with printing.
It's not that I want to puss you, I only wondering.
That lasercutter that you use, how manny Watt is it.
Its a cool machine, mayby a nice projeckt to bild one some time.

Hello, sorry I missed your post and the question.
I'm going to ask for the laser cutter power. I think it is a CO² laser, something like 20 or 50 watts. Will confirm.
In the mean time here are a couple of pictures of your parts. The first one show the kind of slight warping I experienced (look at the right foot, it is floating a bit above the bed). Hopefully it is little enough that the parts will still be usable.
2nd picture is the full set, so that you can verify I did not forget a part. I made a few extra jaws and joints, because they seem a bit fragile (some are in blue PLA in the plastic bag).
In the background you can see my pile of failures. I'm gonna send some of that to you, so you can use it to make "ABS Glue" by mixing with acetone, in case you need to repair a part or want to "paint" it - this way it will be the same colour.
By the way which filament diameter will your machine use ? If it is 3mm I'll send you a little length of the same ABS filament in case you want to replace a part with an improved version.
Now I'm waiting for you to confirm here is all you need, and then I'll pack it.
Most of my technical comments should be correct, but is THIS one ?
