(<a href="http://www.artengine.ca/modlab/index.php/Mantis_CNC_Build_2011" target="_blank">http://www.artengine.ca/modlab/index.php/Mantis_CNC_Build_2011</a>) is<br>
very useful!<br>
<br>
I am still interested in the Mantis, even after looking at the My DIY<br>
CNC web pages. My impression is that the Mantis build is the result of<br>
at least a few iterations, and has been built by a number of folks<br>
already. In contrast, My DIY CNC looks like it's an initial design<br>
that is not yet proven (but maybe I missed something?).<br>
<br>
So, I'm still in for the Mantis, but can't offer to take a more active<br>
role right now because I want to focus on my Prusa Mendel first. If<br>
anybody else is willing to step in that's great, but I won't be<br>
disappointed if not.<br>
