 there will - i'll be adding it in a couple of days, i have a stack of
"updates" ready to go, but we can't do them all at once :)  if you
prefer you can get a libre tea and change it later (contact
support at crowdsupply.com, cc me)

 well at least you'll have the computer card, that's the critical
thing, we need to reach a MOQ of 250 units on that.  pricing will come
down later once we reach mass-volume, so you'll be able to get it much
cheaper in a couple of years, if that helps at all.

 tell them that there's approximately 25 metres of 3.0mm PLA, that you
can use up to a 0.4mm nozzle and that a 0.15mm layer height is fine,
and they'll be able to give you a quote.  but DO NOT get the "cheap"
PLA - the stuff we know works is from Faberdashery, it's very high
quality and very strong.

 if they really really can't get decent very high quality PLA, then if
they can do PolyCarbonate or Nylon for the hinge parts left and right
(which are small, only about 0.15 metres of 3.0mm filament) then you
should be good.

 yeahhhh, it's on the questions on the page, i will be documenting the
assembly to *beyond* the level that chris palmer did his instructions
for the mendel90.
