 you'll need about... 10 metres of ABS @ 3.0mm and about 15 metres of
PLAY @ 3.0mm.  if using 1.75mm adjust accordingly.

 don't know yet.  i'm certainly not going to be doing 250-1000 sets of
3D-printed parts on a single mendel90, i have better things to do than
"explore that space" as the zen buddhists like to put it.  last time i
checked there exist online networked 3d printing websites in china
that offer massive discounts due to huge bulk-purchasing of the raw
materials.
