When I was reading and reading every online post/ article about the Mendelmax, I got me thinking how I should approach this build. Some Internet companies offer DIY kits, some offer fully assembled kits, and then there are the piece by piece people, that's where I wanted to be. I have always sought out ways to build things, how they work, etc. Once I have this printer completed and have some experience under my belt(its a big belt), I hope to maybe build and sell the printers and or maybe even pieces and parts but that's going to be in the future. I just want to have to fun with this thing! Hopefully will have my parts tomorrow to install the shafts and motors. I will post my parts list and keep adding to it with updated prices as I have purchased.
