Mendel building

Torsti, the Helsinki Hacklab bot, is mostly working: http://vimeo.com/groups/42765/videos/14142212

Another mendel, named mengele is in the works:

We have

  • We have the plastic parts
  • Fasteners, but not everything needed
  • Two bearing sets
  • One old set of electronics tied to a WIP cnc. Would prefer to get new kits instead of using these
  • Some smooth bar from printers etc. but need more. Especially >495mm 8mm thick
  • Some studding
  • One set of electronics, motors and belts have been ordered

TOGET

Sprints

We'll hold building sprints at the Hacklab meetings on some thursdays at least.

Official RepRap Suppliers

Local Suppliers

Local Shops may be better or worse than buying from online retailers. This depends on your local shops and what you're getting. Stepper motors you'll want to get online, steel rod - perhaps not. Fasteners, it depends. You may want to check your yellow pages to look these up, as opposed to online.

A preliminary list of useful hardware shops: http://hacklabs-fi.referata.com/wiki/Rautakaupat
