Instructions
For full assembly instructions and parts lists, see mendelmax.com.
The X & Y axes are standard Prusa parts, so any design can be used.
UPDATE I finally got an STP file uploaded. Please let me know if you have any issues with that file.
Update: The SCAD conversion is mostly complete and available at github.com/maxbots/MendelMax
To learn how to execute scripts in FreeCAD, read the tutorial at: mendelmax.com/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=Getting+Started+with+FreeCAD+scripting
Note there may be minor incompatibilities between SCAD generated parts and the parts here on Thingiverse. It should not be an issue intermixing to some extent, but parts that directly connect to another (for example the Y & Z rod mounts & clasps) should always come from the same source.
Also note that the SCAD parts are untested at this point so I recommend only using them if you already have a working printer to reprint any parts that may need tweaking.
Update 1/15/2012: Y motor mount & Y Idler mount replaced with much more robust designs. These should fix any flexing issues you might have.
The part "Lower Vertex Cupcake" is a replacement for the standard Lower Vertex, but is reduced in height slightly to allow printing on the Cupcake and other small-format printers. Either part will work, but you only need to print one or the other, don't print both.
Update 2/7/2012: New, improved Lower Vertex pieces uploaded. These parts should be easier to print, easier to assemble, and better looking, though that comes at the expense of being somewhat slower to print. These have not yet been tested, but they should work fine. If anyone has issues with these new parts, please let me know in the comments or on IRC.
The original parts are still here, the new parts are Lower Vertex Lower & Lower Vertex Upper, and their respective mirrored parts. You will need two of each for a total of 8 parts.
