Well, except for the metal parts, circuit boards, etc :-)
Dwayne and I have been looking at the various models out there and contemplating doing a build panel with one of these as the end product ("everyone leaves with the 3D printer"). Partially to drive the price down, but also because there is quite a bit of tweaking involved, so a common/cooperative effort is the best way to go.
I'm currently building 2 of the Mendel Prusa units. to save time I made molds of the printed parts so I can have all of them in 30 minutes instead of the numbers of hours it takes to print them, and will be working with Pumping Station one for the group build coming up.
