Hi Folx!
This is another demonstration what is possible with a DIY printer if you tweak your skeinforge properly. Just for fun we tried to print an original sized LEGO man. The model can be found here - we just scaled it down by factor 2 to obtain the original size.
This model was printed on our mendel with a layer thickness of 0.2 mm in red PLA. Here you can see the result on the printbed and a short assembly animation.
Someone omitted the hips and a connection for the arms, but nails worked fine, too.
Right after the assembly our freshly cloned LEGO man started to have fun...
The "2printbeta"-Logo in the cube has the size of a 2-EURO coin.

May I ask, what is the yellow thingy on the bed?
And where can I buy those? I assume they are great for PLA printing.
Nice prints by the way:)
Best regards,

Its very good for printing PLA, the plastic sticks very good to it. And you can remove the object in the end without destroying the tape.
It works both cold and heated to 50°. For ABS it isnt usable, ABS sticks too good.
If you want some and cant find it locally, i could sell you some
