Why do you say prusa over Mendel? The Mendel seems like a better design... Real bearings and all that. It seemed to me like most of the complexity is in the firmware and software so why not go for the mechanics with the fewest compromises? > No, you can get 10 2x2" PCBs for $13 US delivered. Not $13 each, $13 total. Oh my. That's nuts. Maybe we could get the to print plastic parts to order for us too :-P ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EditLive Enterprise is the world's most technically advanced content authoring tool.
