<DIV class=h5>I've also pondered it. I'm partial to the Ron Thomp Mendel at
the moment. (<A href="http://ronthompmendel.com/"

around so you could probably find someone willing to print the printable parts
out for you locally.<BR><BR>Tony Buser is on here and he's built a rep rap or
three. He's also techincal editor for <A

doing research or something like that at MakerBot Industries, messing with the

<DIV>anyone in here ever build their own? I’m pondering building one, but I
have to buy bits slowly as I don’t have a lot of money available at once. I
have a mega 1280 lying around I can use. and a 13.8v 20 amp psu I can use to
power it. but I don’t have the
rest.<BR></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV><BR></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR clear=all><BR>--
