I know someone who can print me my Mendel's parts.

I've downloaded all the stl files associated with Mendel. This page also has some details:
[objects.reprap.org]

But what I need to know is how many of EACH of those stl parts I need to print. Does anyone know where or have a convenient list? I don't want to miss a part and have to bug my friend (who wants to print all the parts in one shot).

Please let me know fellow reprappers! Your help is much appreciated.

1) We need that information, if it's not in the parts list.

EDIT: 'grab the files from subversion, they're named frame_vertex_6off.stl which tells you that you need 6 of them' - Triffid_Hunter

2) Are you printing the parts on a generic commercial 3D printer? That's going to be crazy expensive ~1000 USD, for just the plastic.

A RepRap could do it for much less, but I sense a boot strapping problem.

I highly recommend you look into buying a CNC-ready router or CNC-ready mill, if you're going to spend $1K.

If you buy a Taig mill (~1KUSD, pre-motors, pre-electronics), for example, you'll have something that you can still use as a milling machine, along with as a RepRap.

Thanks so much for your help Sebastian!

Actually my friend is going to print it for free. But he can only do this favour for me once. So I have to make sure I can give him all the parts at once. It's a commercial printer.
