I have a bunch of these belts in my lab at UCSD Hillcrest. If you want to stop by I'll hook you up with a couple. I have a bunch of dead prusas now which I use for scrap parts... i make mendelmaxs now among other random repstraps.

Thanks for the offer! I really appreciate it.
However, as of earier today I have gt2 belts/pulleys on the way from
sdp-si.
MendelMax looks like a great redesign - thought about making one but
decided to go a bit more standard for my first build.
Only things left to buy is hardware (minus rods - nuts/bolts/etc only)
and a piece of glass to sit above the heatbed.
Shooting for <$500, currently at $457.
Unbelievably excited at this point..

Anyone have any tips on plastic filament sources? Looking to get a
little bit of PLA (maybe some ABS too) to get me started. Don't want
to finish the thing and have to then wait on plastic :P
Anything local? Ridout? Doesn't look like it..
Mailman's about to bring me the printed parts! Cutting rods tonight..

I use normally Ultimachine stuff, but seems like my last batch of ABS (from ultimachine) is softer then past (couldn't get my wade's extruder to work because so soft whereas it was never a problem in past for almost full year). So next time I buy ABS, I will go Makerbot and buy PLA from Ultimachine .. of course you got to eat the shipping.
This is how I feel it may not be the actual case but when I went to Ultimachine, they didn't experiment with ABS (just PLA) whereas most makerbot guys use ABS.
