Working Notes

Project Lead(s): swighton et. al. Wiki-maintainers and helpers:

Note

Metal/Mendel is cross-fertile with Eiffel and is probably part RBS. It's one big whirling gyre of intercompatible design concepts. Forum thread: http://dev.forums.reprap.org/read.php?4,29852,29852

Files

File:Mendel Drawings.zip

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

Units!

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?

Notes

Swighton's got a pretty good writeup, so he'll probably just copy it here.
