batch sales

Batch 1:

Batch 2: This batch was shiped with a one week delay and it did only contain the mechanics. Three weeks later electronics and belts were shipped. Instead of a Melzi board, a Sanguinololu board with an additional SD-plugin was shipped. A forum thread about this delay can be found here[1]

Batch 3:

Batch 4 (PRE ORDER for DISPATCH on May 31st):

difference to the standard Mendel

M8 lock washer instead of plain washers are used.

A smaller M8 Mudguard washer is used, allowing easier jigging.

The inside jiging length is 273mm instead of 234mm. (The 290mm outside frame jiging length is the same.)

errors in the ABSPrusa-Wiki

wrong: The four bar clamps now need to be spaced correctly, measuring from the inside of the nearest frame vertex, the nearest side of the the bar camp needs to be 70mm. correct: the photo shows the correct 60mm.

There is no M4 16mm bolt in the kit to install the optional 624zz guide bearing, and it would be too short anyway. Just take the last 20mm bolt and insert it from the outside and secure it with the M4 nyloc nut from the inside :-)
