Update - 07/04/2021
The print bed design had some weird unintentional bridge feature. I have corrected the STL file and re-uploaded (Red - Parts). The old version would have still worked. Just this version is better. :-) Apologies for the inconvenience.
Say hello to the latest Prusa Mate - Mendel Mate.
The mate that started it all. Inspired by the latest April Fools joke by Prusa, I felt it was time the Prusa Mendel joined the ranks of the fun mate printer series. Watch your friends become green with envy when they see your new mate is a Mendel.
Your kid(s) always asking for a 3d printer. Give them exactly what they want by printing them a Mendel Mate and watch them glee with joy as soon as they see Mendel Mate's stupid looking face. He even comes with a leaky nozzle.
To see how to carry out filament changes mid-print, please refer to the link below.

Although this looks to be a complicated assembly, joint and part fittings have been customized specifically to make the build as easy as possible.
Please refer to the images for assembly instructions as it really helps to build per the steps I have specified.
STL file names specify what type of supports are required and if and when colour changes are needed and at what layer height to initiate them.
Any questions send me a DM or just leave a comment.
Happy printing,
Neil
