I wouldn't print any of the structural parts with ABS due to all the vibration and tension. But things like LED/display holders and other non-mechanical parts should be fine. Plus, you can compost/recycle the parts that don't work...

The mendelmax is coming along and I'd like to start testing with PLA filament. I have a few parts I'd like to eventually print for the bot itself, so I'd prefer black filament to match, but any color would work. -Eli -- @jherrm <http://twitter.com/jherrm> linkedin.com/in/jherrm <http://linkedin.com/in/jherrm> facebook.com/herrman <http://facebook.com/herrman>
