Awesome Simon, that is one nice design, very neat clean lines. Have you increased the height from the Mendels and what is the print area?
Its a Makerfarm prusa, Build volume should be 20.2 x 20.2 x 18 (centimeters)
Btw how do you know my name ^^
Or was the question towards someone else, Unbelievable how many humans are called Simon :P
You should use the nickname instead haha :P
And Harball,
It shouldnt be such a problem, its only 1 kilo and its probably even better for the balance during printing, its probably not that Shackey anymore.
Btw it has 12 contact points with the wood, So it shouldnt be such a problem ^^

Not clean at all but it gets the job done with speed and pretty good accuracy. Can't complain except for the small build area (6in cube)
@ Tom: Crazy design! Looks awesome!
Back OT
I plan on building a Rostock soon too - Started printing some parts already (3DR rostock)
Here are a couple of our Prusa's printing at this year's Maker Faire - New York

Here's my Printrbot Plus with dual extruders, upgraded aluminum couplers, GT2 aluminum pulleys, GT2 6mm belts, massive active cooling, X-axis bridge aluminum stabilizer, aluminum top joiner, Abec 5 Italian 608 bearings throughout, all motors have been upgraded to large Kysans with heat sinks, 350 watt power supply, 175 watt 2nd power supply, z-axis extension 17", Y-axis extension, custom printrstand with 200mm fan and much more.
If you haven't noticed, a lot of work has gone into this printer and it is a beast.

I figured it was only right to post the Simple XL. This is a build by RepRap Squad that over doubles the print space of the original Simple. You can see in the side by side picture of the original Simple next to the Simple XL.
I'm just finishing up the newest mods and getting it ready to fire up again. I'll update once I break the sound barrier. It should be all calibrated within the next week or so as dual extruders can be a pain but, I have faith that it should be ready for speed tests soon.
