After a stressful search for parts yesterday I’ve probably sourced 98%. Today I’m relaxed and thought I’d look up background on the parts former owner. Surprised she has an excellent history (more posted on that later).
Now I know everyone’s going to look at the pic and say that’s not a Mendel. Right, Mendula wanted to be a Mendel, or even better yet a RapMan V3. But that was not to be. So she is a Darwin or more correctly an early laser cut RapMan.
That looks more like a hand cast Bits from Bytes Darwin, as opposed to a laser cut Darwin. The laser cut parts are usually stacked layers of clear acrylic; those black parts look a lot like the hand cast parts that I bought last year.

It's worked very well for me; produced three Darwins and a Mendel with it, and still going strong!

ReplyDeleteVery good to hear! I'm looking forward to the build after CES.
