I've been looking into building a 3d printer on my own. I think this would be a great opportunity to learn more about 3d printing while saving some money at the same time. I know there are kits out there but I also read that you could buy most of the necessary parts at a local hardware store. My school also has an industrial sized printer that I believe would allow me some access to. Let me know what you guys think.
I want to make the Mendelmax 2.0 also.
