Description
This page will document some changes I am planning to make to a version of Mendel that has the following properties:
1. as simple as possible, but no simpler 2. maximize build space 3. minimize print/construction time 4. minimize cost
The main focus is optimizing Mendel to increase possible reproduction rate while not losing any build volume and maybe increasing it.

Things Being Considered
This involves many designs already made by Vik and others currently working on the Mini-Mendel development. It may involve some of the following:
1. reduction in number of bearings
2. adding more low cost ubiquitous vitamins (R/C car gears for the extruder, springs for the bed, etc...)
(I know this is backwards from a lot of other development)
3. optimizing all parts for plastic volume, print time, etc...
