Just a heads up for those that may be interested. I have two Makerbot Cupcakes and a Green Mendel i am looking to part with. I have an idea of the price i am willing to sell them for, but i am willing to take offers. I hope you guys don't mind me advertising here, but i figure since its a local group looking to get going in this hobby that it might be the perfect place.
Message me directly if you'd like some information. Pictures of the two Makerbot Cupcakes and Green Mendel can be found on my Flickr page.
Also important note: The Makerbot electronics that are mounted on the Mendel are actually for and from the Wood Makerbot Cupcake. The Mendel will come with Stepper motors and i can throw in 3 Pololu stepper controllers. There are also two MK4 plastruders and one MK5.
Approximate expected price:
Mendel - $700
Acrylic Cupcake - $550
Wood Cupcake - $550
