Really big example images with lots of descriptive text are a fun part of documentation.

Adesina

Adesina is a Nigerian name which means "first of many children" or "she opens the way". She is a RepStrap Wooden Mendel, built like the Mendel orginal design. I chose to post my worklog at this norwegian forum. Pictures are in spoiler tags throughout the thread.

Worklog

I will make a more thorough build log with notes here when Adesina can print. For now, please refer to the pictures in the running worklog.

Modifications

We have made a simplified bed and x-axis. The rest is as close as possible to the original Mendel parts.

X-Axis

Here are some of the latest changes to the construction. Please note that this is still on the pretty experimental stage, so use at your own risk. The photos below are from version 1, and so does not correspond exactly to the svg file.
