What's New?
3.29.11: Unit One is alive, as is our class' first Mendel!
3.5.11: One class Mendel is alive and printing, and everything but a ribbon cable is in place for Unit One.
2.24.11: Our PSU class' repraps are nearing completion, with a Huxley and Mendel all but fully assembled and programmed, and our third close behind. With a bit of luck, all three should be online and ready for their maiden prints within the week.

Model Files
Universal Pen Holder for Mendel
This is a set of files for a Universal Pen Holder made to be mounted on a Mendel Unit. As it is currently designed, you would also need a 6/32 threaded rod and at least 4 nutts of the same type. You also need 6 screws that will be threaded into the holes in the hexegon shaped parts. These screws are used to hold the pen in place, use whatever screws can screw snugly into the holes.
Alternative Z-opto Holder
This is an alternative holder for the Z opto endstop. Instead of using the screw and spring that is typically packaged with the Mendel kit, this can be used instead. With this design, turning the threaded shaft clockwise lowers the linkage. Turning the shaft counter clockwise raises the linkage.
One known issue with this design is that the two screws connecting the bottom 2 bars to the base block come loose with time allowing the entire linkage to lean to one side or another. Finding a way to stablize the bars attached to the base block would solidify this design.
