I just wanted to re-ask something that got missed from above, I'll just quote it: QuoteOH and also, an extruder/general question: supposedly this is better the current extruder. I say current but I don't really know what is current, I just see random wiki articles on the site about better parts etc. The BOM I found in the Mendel Assembly Data sheet contained an extruder part, and I clicked on tby Jonnyb42 - General
What about the electronics I see on the repraps in many of the intro videos and demo videos, Motherboard, extruder controller, 3 stepper motor controllers, power board, etc. What is that electronics collection called?by Jonnyb42 - General
If it gets that hot, shouldn't I just go with Gen6 electronics then?by Jonnyb42 - General
I am thinking about the Pololu electronics, the kind Adrian did on stripboard. He shows some pieces including the Arduino Mega, saying that is all the pieces you need, minus the wiring. My question is, he mentions how the fan is the loudest part of the Mendel, which fan is that? I don't remember there being a fan in the instructions. Also, for the first option that is soldered by another Mendel,by Jonnyb42 - General
Thank you, I will get started on the Mendel RepRap.by Jonnyb42 - General
Quote The Huxley Mendel, Prusa Mendel and standard Mendel all use the same firmware/software. Ohh ok I should have figured that out, so does that mean you could use the simpler electronics used in the Prusa for the standard Mendal, the Gen6 for example?by Jonnyb42 - General
Well thank you very much Mr. Morrison, I have just a few more questions: Would you suggest which Mendel I should begin making, the original or Prusa? As for the Prusa, I could not find any software downloading/installing instructions like the Mendal has, do you know where to find those? thanks againby Jonnyb42 - General
Wow! Thank you Mr. Morrison! Quoterhmorrison You will have to be more specific here... Some have insulation, some add cooling fans. Add some links to pictures and then we can tell you what it is. Here are some links to what I mean: Green Wrapping Tape? Ceramic/Clay ? Quote There are plenty of tutorials on the wiki. What do you think is missing? I'm sorry, I missed a word there...

I would like to make a reprap, as would many others on here I see just starting out as well. I am leaning towards the Mendel, but I haven't researched the Prusa and Huxley enough to make a concrete decision yet. I am a freshman in college and I would like to begin gathering parts for this. It looks very involved so I am slightly worried, but I still plan on doing this. I have some questions if anby Jonnyb42 - General
