I'm looking to get into this Reprap phenomenon. Though still trying to get my head around the whole procedure of getting started.

Reading the forums, I noticed Mindkits was planning a full on, complete Mendel Kit. But it isn't on the website.

Is this still goal? I know you'll have at least one very interested customer.

Start by finding someone local and get them to print you a set of plastic parts The rest you can then start sourceing and collecting the other 'vitamins'

Or get online to the IRC channel [webchat.freenode.net] channel #reprap and have a chat to they guys there.

I think Mindkits put the Mendel kit in the too hard basket, they are now talking about distributing Makerbots.

Where are you in NZ? I have just finished building a Mendel here in Nelson although I'm not happy enough with the prints yet to offer parts to anyone. I have made myself a spare set of gears for my Wades extruder, but when I tried to make a filament bracket it came out well how should I say it crap. So still some tweaking to do on that score
