Almost forgot the english part of this forum 
The Mantis Electron means to be a very simple, sturdy precision printer and light milling machine. Version 0.9 has a build volume of 140 x 120 x 90 mm, resolution about 0.001 mm with 1.8° steppers and 1/16 microstepping, expected achievable feedrate 2100 mm/min or 35 mm/s. It's based on David Carr's Mantis 9.1 and brings in a number of detail improvements, e.g. play free linear roller bearings.
Mantis' design principle is just brilliant. After only a few days of working, X and Z axis are already done. All this while reviewing measurements, finding kitchen table-able crafting methods and doing everything for the first time. No adjustments were neccessary, carriages move smoothly. This is how it currently looks like:
