Current Status:
The Space MendelMax currently requires :
- Motors - 5 needed for single extrusion, 6 if we go fancy dual extrusion - eMakershop a possibility
- Smooth Rods - Metal Supermarket, all 8mm we have decided
- Electronics - SmoothieBoard or 4Pi arm-based electronics are ideal, but mostly only about to be released
- Extruder/Hot End - I have a spare heated nozzle ready, there's a CPU heatsink we can probably retrofit, and with the quick-fit extruder, that may be all that's needed, we will see.
- Heated bed* - I have got a slightly iffy quote from china (direct import) for $45 each for 2 with $40 delivery
(*)A heated bed is not strictly necessary for PLA but makes it a lot more reliable, and essential for ABS
