Hi Nicholas
I'd be very interested to see what your/Annirak's thoughts are on using computer control instead of a fancy controller. I've been following the thread and did some reading on Mendel after you mentioned it as a good beginner printer. I must admit, I did have second thoughts on 3D printers when I saw that the cost for electronics alone for Mendel was over $100 (excluding motors). If direct computer control is a viable idea it would help your idea of lowering cost (and I could possibly help out - although your coding abilities are probably better than mine in anyrate).
Well done on your work so far, it's very impressive to see how far you've come. And thanks to Annirak for helping out :)
Cheers
Greg
