The Prusa Mendel was a 3D printer built by Alfred in 2013, and modified a number of times by various members over the next few years. It came to the end of its life in 2016 when the head caught fire. It was replaced by the Prusa i3.

• In January 2013, Quelab hosted a crowdfunding campaign to purchase a public-use 3D Printer, based on the Prusa Mendel style of reprap.
