The Kid Mendel is a printer designed by Thingiverse user JSPark, in South Korea. It is called the Kid Mendel for two reasons:
- The printer is an aesthetically simpler version of the Mendel or Prusa Mendel designs...
- Because of its simplicity, it is a good printer to use when introducing 3d printing to children.
Design
The printer follows in the footsteps of the Sells and Prusa Mendels; The extruder moves in X and Z, and the bed moves in Y. The X,Y,and Z axes are driven by leadscrew or threaded rod.There are files for the motor end of a belt-driven Y axis on JSPark's Thingiverse page, but no idler end.
