Here is a list of parts and the materials used (or not used) on a Reprap Mendel. The goal here is to brainstorm new materials that are better, cheaper, easier to work, or easier to acquire, as well as to explain why particular materials succeed or fail. This page can also be used to judge the most successful materials used by the community. eventually maybe we can add some code so that we can vote for particular materials. In the meantime, just edit this page to add info or examples for both failures and successes
Goals for this page:
a)List all materials used and the reason for use
b) List failed materials with reason/theory of failure
c)List untested but promising materials and explain their potential.
