Intro

The Lulzbot Prusa Mendel is a slightly tweaked version of the RepRap Prusa Mendel 3d printer. Most of the small tweaks made were for sustainability, ability to upgrade, and to streamline some of the building process. Otherwise, the Lulzbot Prusa Mendel is very similar to the popular Prusa Mendel build.

Here you will find more info about the printer, where you can buy one, how to get your Lulzbot printer setup and running, and version updates.

Getting Started

If you have just received your printer, congrats! You're so close to printing cats and moustaches you can practically taste it (PLA and ABS plastic is not very tasty or healthy to eat, btw). However, before you unpack your printer be sure to read the instruction manual. The manual includes instructions on unpacking the printer and setting it up. You can also find the instructions here on the RepRap wiki by going to the Getting Started page. The Getting Started page will contain the most recent changes and additions to the manual plus some extras that you can not find in the printed manual. Be sure to check it out.
