Subject: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] New RepRap Design: MendelMax

MendelMax is a new Open Source RepRap 3d printer designed by Maxbots.
It is a true reprap, using printed brackets, but instead of using
threaded rod for the structural elements it uses inexpensive aluminum
extrusions. This gives a huge increase in rigidity for a minimal extra
cost (Self sourcing will cost about $50 more than a standard Prusa
when purchased from the recommended suppliers). The required
extrusions are available world wide from a variety of suppliers.

In addition to greatly increased rigidity, this design is faster to
assemble (probably 4 hours for most users), easier to print, and
easier to hack on.

Full assembly instructions will be available soon and parts lists are
available at http://www.mendelmax.com (Not resolving yet, in the
meantime, see http://www.kludgineering.com/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=MendelMax).

CAD files will be posted soon. Currently they are in Alibre, but they
will be converted to FreeCAD (SCAD) once the design is finished.
