Discussions about a RepRap for the space resulted in the conclusion that for maximum durability we should build a Mendel Max.

The Space MendelMax currently requires :


* Motors - 5 needed for single extrusion, 6 if we go fancy dual extrusion - [http://www.emakershop.com/browse/motors eMakershop a possibility]
* Calibrating
* Smooth Rods - Metal Supermarket, all 8mm we have decided
* An enclosure for printing ABS
* Electronics - SmoothieBoard or 4Pi arm-based electronics are ideal, but mostly only about to be released
* Glass Bed to replace mirror (for better heat distribution)
* Timing Belts - Need to look up the specs.
* Extruder/Hot End - Martyn has a spare heated nozzle ready, we need a ceramic spacer.
* Heated bed* - Maryn has got a slightly iffy quote from china (direct import) for $45 each for 2 with $40 delivery.  Alternatively part no. SRFG-1212/5-P-230V from http://omega.co.uk
* Possibly some more LM8UU bearings


(*)A heated bed is not strictly necessary for PLA but makes it a lot more reliable, and essential for ABS
