I understand that such question can be inappropriate in many ways, but I believe there are good arguments for both printers that will help newcomers to choose between them.
I am considering of getting Ormerod or Mendel, but to choose which - is not an easy decision.
Not being afraid of hard work, with understanding that printers that require assembly - require patience, time, and of course passion to learn and do the best.
I am developer and have some experience in mechanical engineering, so will be fine on assembling, so this should not be an argument for any printer.
But what I think most would be interested is to find out what experienced people who own or had experience with both printers would say, in details as well as in overall.
Points of interest would be:
1. Quality. It very much depends on skills of the user, but the process of achieving and possibilities of improving though modifications might be different in those printers.
2. Modification Friendly. What is better for long term, in terms of making it "cool" and keep improving it without big pain.
3. Maintainability. Ormerod is new, but experienced users can already say that there will be issues with maintaining specific things, with Mendel answering on this will be easier.
4. Major advantages/disadvantages between those two models in context of comparison.
Please provide some info, so that people can refer to this in the future.
