Mendel Build Documentation



This section is non-critical for assembly, however occasionally people request Mendel's solid model files of the total mechanical assembly.

The model is available in the following formats:

Wedge

The CAD files for the wedge frame used in Mendel.

Solid Edge

Please note this is not the same as Solid Works!

Available in Version 20, academic licence

All part files for the cartesian robot are available under 'cartesian-robot-m4' here. You will need to download the whole of 'cartesian-robot-m4', then search for the _SOLIDEDGE_README.txt for further instructions on opening the general assembly.

AOI

AOI is a free, open-source solid modelling package. Model files have only been made for the individual printed parts, which can be found here. These parts are editable in AOI. There is no general assembly in this format. Advice on using AOI for RepRap can be found here.

Mendel in AOI Format

STL

Model files have only been included for the individual printed parts. These parts are not editable (not really anyway). There is no general assembly in this format.

Official Mendel in STL Format

Many people have made sets of mendel-parts on Thingiverse that can be printed at once. Some with the smaller parts holding down the larger ones against warping. 2 Examples are here and here.
There are also lots of unofficial improved and corrected parts to be found on Thingiverse.

SolidWorks

Idaholion has translated Mendel into SolidWorks 2010 format, available here

Extruder

The CAD files for the Mendel pinch wheel extruder are stored separately (see link bellow). These are required in addition to the wedge frame CAD files to build a Mendel.
