Any chance that you might start making kits or are you tired of it now? I sure would like to find one of these kits.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04110423193198941479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4339813531032979196.post-21543429147537541212015-10-13T21:34:22.523+01:002015-10-13T21:34:22.523+01:00Hi Chris,

From the problems I hear other people having with cheap clones I'm glad I learned how to build, calibrate and refine my own printer from this kit, and that once setup it hasn't skipped a beat in nearly three years.<br />Whilst the appeal of a delta has almost tempted me to hit the buy button (they are mesmerising to watch!) I'm actually thinking that I have no need for a replacement until affordable home SLA printing comes of age.<br />I wonder if the decision to stop selling these kits is what influenced IKEA to stop selling SORLI 200x200mm mirror tiles? :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4339813531032979196.post-32220782368638893742015-10-07T06:54:02.628+01:002015-10-07T06:54:02.628+01:00Hi Chris,

Nothing broke, nothing is wearing out. On average the printer runs 8 hours a day within the last two years. As Philipp wrote your kit is perfect and so well made its unparalleled. <br /><br />If a fairy godmother would grand me three wishes: 1. Chris would often write in his blog. 2. Chris would come up with another printer. 3. A screw&r&nails packaging machinery for your wife.<br /><br />Thank you Chris and Mary,<br />IngoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4339813531032979196.post-74239287471900650212015-10-07T02:40:27.996+01:002015-10-07T02:40:27.996+01:00I thank you and your wife for all that you have do...I thank you and your wife for all that you have done with the Mendel90 kits.

The Mendel90 Kit was really perfect. You've thought of everything and even the cardboard from the parcel was used. Thanks also to your wife, who has helped you diligently. The instruction was truly unique. Each handle has been declared and it was super easy to build the printer together.<br /><br />I had/have lot of fun with my printer and I have learned a lot about 3D printing. I will never sell your printer, because I am proud to own an original Mendl90 from you. =)<br /><br />However, I hope that you do not give the development of your printer and we can print additional improvements ourselves.<br /><br />So again, thank you for everything and happy blogging.<br /><br />On my blog I'm going to continue to report on my Mendel90.<br /><br />http://blog.seidel-philipp.de/category/3d-druck/mendel90/<br /><br />PhilAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421298673289588902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4339813531032979196.post-39677965518296477222015-10-02T19:23:20.451+01:002015-10-02T19:23:20.451+01:00I can cut and send you dibond m90.

It is a great machine and my daughter and I with no experience were able to put it together and get it working without much difficulty.
