This is my attempt to build a Prusa Mendel (metric).
As i build, i am going to list the steps, parts i bought, mistakes i made, lessons learnt and pitfalls to avoid.

My aim in writing this Blog, is to make your Prusa Mendel (metric) build a breeze!!!
Secondly i want to build a reliable Prusa mendel, so i don't want to skimp on the parts...and if i do, i am not sure what pitfalls i may run into...So i am not taking any short cuts with quality...
I know, people are talking about the cost to build around $500-$600 dollars ( This is a complete DIY route).
I am not taking complete DIY route. I can save few dollars by assembling the RAMPS kit, but this time i would like to buy a preassembled RAMPS( cost difference between DIY and assembled is $38 dollars).
It seems this build is going to cost me $800+ dollars. Let us see, at the end of day, where i stand!!!
Happy 3D Printing!!!!!!
