Well, I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I just kind of wanted to mention that I've started a bit of a build log of the Mendel I'm building. Going to get a good Google Docs spreadsheet going of where I get each piece from, and exactly how much it's cost, so someone can get a good idea of what it'll currently cost to assemble.

I'm still working on getting a list of materials, and I hope to start updating the Wiki with some useful stuff, maybe help make things a bit easier to understand in some spots and make the Mendel stuff tied together a bit better..
Either way, wish me luck! Any suggestions, please let me know! I've got a decently good electronics and programming background, but nothing amazing. Still trying to teach myself about stepper motors and their controllers...
