Wooden Mendel
Please do not add to this page. (It is slightly overcrowded as it is.)
This Page Contains multiple RepRap development projects and should be split up. Each individual project/design/improvement should have its own development page within an encompassing category.

Working Notes
There's a lot of stuff here: http://adamsblog-reprapbuildup.blogspot.com/ http://wooden-mendel.blogspot.com http://grogyans-world.blogspot.com/
These blogs are really good resources, but we need to work them into our documentation in order to best help new builders. This includes text, images, and files.

Files
Drawings
The files in Mendel_Drawings.zip are a bunch of pdfs. We need to render the pdfs as .png type image files (using image magick or pdftk?) and embed them in a series of pages. E.g. x_axis_belt_clamp.pdf is a pdf in the zip, we need x_axis_belt_clamp.png, and then either have Mendel/Drawings be one long image dump or have it be a list of pages like: Mendel/x_axis_belt_clamp
Inches
Note: swighton's original drawings are in Inches.
Metric
We will want a translation into metric for people using metric tooling.
Tooling
Description of tooling requirements.
Process
What is making the part like?
Many of the mendel parts are quite difficult to make from wood, and could do with a re-design. They are all created with 3d printing in mind, so there is no consideration for access to internal spaces, or grain or any of the other things to keep in mind when working in wood. Any part that experiences tension or clamping pressure (such as the Z bar top clamps) really should be made from hardwood, with careful attention paid to the direction of the grain or they will have a very short lifetime.
