open source cheap 3d printer

[reggio]

hello to all, I wanted to report to you this site that I recently discovered,http://objects.reprap.org/wiki/mendel/itfrom that little I've seen, it's a self-constructed 3d printer,
regarding the mechanical part, on the site you can find the link to the 3d models of the printer, look at the videos present on the site and on yt seems an interesting object even if it is not clear the print quality and the necessary "preparation"; In fact, in addition to mechanical parts, the printer consists of software and electronic components all to assemble (although there is also the possibility to purchase it in kit).

I wanted to report the site because I consider the project interesting and why I wanted to know if qlc of you knew it or had already faced the adventure and could leave me opinions and considerations on it.

I've already seen another 3d printer with the possibility to download the projects, or buy it already assembled, but I think it's not this.

If you do a search in the site archive I think you should find something.
