@spacexula I got in at the $378 price, only 1/2 the cost of a Makerbot. I still think it was a good deal for that price. However, would I do it over again for the $550? Probably not, for that much I would have splurged the extra $$ on the "sure-thing" Makerbot. For what I payed, I'm willing to tinker.by mattkos - For Sale
Has anyone else got their extruder circuit working? I've been messing with the circuit now for a while and can't seem to get it to respond to the on/off commands from the software. Thanks to Jeffrey Olijar who sent me some info last weekend, it helped get me almost there (I think). But I am kind of stuck right now. He is using a somewhat custom approach.

Now you all have me worried. Going to buy some of these...by mattkos - General
Has anyone with the James kit constructed his circuits yet? His wiring diagrams are a bit confusing and I could really use a little help. James has not been responding to email lately.by mattkos - General New Machines Topics
@jeffrey Olijar Thanks for the note on the motors, I just sent off a note to James. And to give proper credit on the zip ties--totally stole that from you I'm at work, so I just whipped up a quick CAD of what I did for the Z axis wood blocks. Seems to work, but I have only been moving them by hand so far. Once the motors start working, we'll see what happens. Note on the CAD, not to scale aby mattkos - For Sale
@FrankNeon Are you looking for the two Z motor install video? If so, it is here I made some decent progress this weekend. I was missing some pieces so I broke out the drill and dremel and made some wood replacements. They seem to be doing the job so far, but James is sending a replacement so I'll have the option of eventually replacing them. As a note for anyone building a kit, be very careby mattkos - For Sale
I received my kit yesterday. Taking inventory is a little tough, as Jeffrey pointed out previously the "inventory drawings" are printed very light. The kit is missing the x-axis and extruder as was expected. My kit also seems to be missing one of the square pieces for holding on the y-bars. I emailed James about this. Also, I don't seem to have any of the 5/16th nuts and only a handful ofby mattkos - For Sale
His website is listed in his original post www.profounddevices.com However, it appears he is currently sold out of the full kits.by mattkos - For Sale
James, I would be interested in one of your kits, but I have to second RyanGeorge's comment. Do you have a video of one of the fully functional Mendels printing a part?by mattkos - For Sale
These look nice. Do you have any plans to make the rest of the Mendel parts?by mattkos - For Sale
Hey Brian My browser crashed when I sent my PM, so I'm not sure if it went through. In any case, I would love to get one of your remaining kits.by mattkos - For Sale
Hi I'm in Colorado and looking for a set of Mendel parts. Willing to pay for material, time and shipping. Anyone willing? Thanksby mattkos - For Sale
