First off thank you NopHead for the very well put together kit and awesome support. It took around 20-24 hours from start to first print in about 2 weeks. My comments on the Manual/Build are below Build/Mannual General Build tips - add "Keep the box for the heat shield as a note" Tools Required - add "Needle nose pliers" Consumables - add "Sticky Tape" Below Tool Required - add a Optional equipby RyanMark - Mendel90

I think I am supposed to use the following wires from my PSU: (24 wires) 4.1 Motherboard 20+4Pin Connector (P1) (4 wires) 4.2 CPU 4+4Pin Connector (P2, P3) (4 wires) 4.5 Peripheral 4-Pin Connector (4 wires) 4.6 Floppyby RyanMark - Mendel90

Correct me if I am wrong but couldn't you print at a 0.2mm layer height and come out with the correct dimensions?by RyanMark - Mendel90

I am in the middle of constructing my Mendel90 and some of my first prints will be spare parts for the printer. What parts are prone to break? (ie what should I print first?) And what fill, layer height etc. should be used on the printed parts?by RyanMark - Mendel90
I enjoy browsing the interenet on occasion at work and was wondering if anyone could recommend any 3D printing blogs that get updated on a regular basis? Also feel free to self promote if you have your own blog. Cheers,by RyanMark - General
So, I went ahead and bought the one from Tigerdirect as Nophead said it would work. In case anyone else was wondering which PSU to buy. Thanks.by RyanMark - Mendel90
I am on the waiting list to buy a Mendel90 from Nophead but it doesn't come with a PSU. I am thinking of purchasing this one Potential PSU. Does anyone have any recommendations on a brand and place to buy online? (I live in Canada) Thanks in advance.by RyanMark - Mendel90
