RUG/Pennsylvania/State College/Printers/PSU Unit B
On this page you will find the current status of the Unit B Mendel. Also, this is will be a staging area for our personal edits to the various instruction wikis on the RepRap site. Our Mendel Unit is a Techzone Gen 3 Laser-cut Mendel. So far, no major design components have been changed from what you get from Techzone.
Most of the information below will be incorporated in the LaserCut Mendel Assembly page.

Staging Area for Instructions
The information below will be where our group first posts instructions for the Mendel unit before moving it to LaserCut Mendel Assembly page. This information will most likely be incomplete and/or not in a logical order. If you are building a Laser-Cut Mendel, got to the link above for the instructions.
X Axis
The X-axis of the Mendel holds the extruder and allows it to move laterally left and right. The X-axis jig is also part of the Z-axis as the entire X-axis moves up and down along the Z-axis.
Assembly
- Gather the laser cut parts shown in the picture below. Also, have the nuts, bolts and washers bag close at hand.
