Evolving the Prusa Mendel: Part 1

Chris Olah and I have been developing a fork of the Prusa Mendel at Hacklab.to over the past couple months with 3 major goals:

1) get larger build volumes from a smaller printer footprint [we don't have much room at hacklab]

2) reduce the printed and non-printed part counts

3) increase the configurability of the Prusa Mendel

Today we are able to show the first parts of the Hacklab RepRap - a simpler, smaller and more configurable Prusa Mendel. I'll leave the in-depth discussion to Chris but heres a couple pics to wet your appetite:
