Excellent. We have the Tech Center for the day. What time would y'all like to start up? Considering johnnyr has a couple hours of driving to do, it's probably fair to let him have the primary say on that.by SheepdogRD - Atlanta, Georgia RepRap User Group

That sounds great. I'm waiting for a couple of answers from people who are out of town to see what their schedules are, and to determine whether we could meet at our Tech Center. Assuming our Tech Center (in Marietta) is available, maybe we could look at something like December 12, so we can get the word out to users all around the area.by SheepdogRD - Atlanta, Georgia RepRap User Group
No problem -- I can read that to be gentler. I have a similar sense, though -- that I want a MakerBot primarily because I can't just send off my money and get Mendel parts. I would like to see your setup, so I'll contact you at your website.by SheepdogRD - Atlanta, Georgia RepRap User Group
That's interesting: the MakerBot "is not designed to be industrial, it is made to make a RepRap." That shifts my ideas about the machine, How long is the line waiting for Mendel parts from your MakerBot? We're not in line anywhere, and would like to queue up. Since we're not very far away, it would be a nice trip to see what you're doing and get a better handle on all we're tackling.by SheepdogRD - Atlanta, Georgia RepRap User Group
I see you're planning to move up from a MakerBot to a Mendel. I'd be interested in your impressions of the MakerBot. Has it been a good first step, or -- if you had it all to do over again -- would you hold out and wait to get parts for a Mendel?by SheepdogRD - Atlanta, Georgia RepRap User Group
Hello -- I'm Richard. We have a group at work in Marietta who'd like to build at least two machines. We're all mechanically capable -- there's a good bit of machine shop and fabrication experience within the group -- and some of us have programming skills. We're ready to buy as soon as parts are available. We're also interested in 3-D imaging systems.by SheepdogRD - Atlanta, Georgia RepRap User Group
