The machine that copies itself
- pmorici 18y agoAnyone succeeded in making one of these? It looks like they sell a lot of the stuff you would need but are you SOL if you don't know anyone who has one to replicate the custom plastic parts? http://dev.www.reprap.org/bin/view/Main/PartsSupplies http://dev.www.reprap.org/bin/view/Main/PartsSupplies
- rsheridan6 18y agoYou can build a RepStrap to bootstrap your RepRap: http://dev.www.reprap.org/bin/view/Main/RepStrap http://dev.www.reprap.org/bin/view/Main/RepStrap
- rsheridan6 18y agoRepRap is a cool project, but it's an exaggeration to say that it copies itself. It can make its own plastic parts, but you still need to obtain some metal parts, a motor, etc, and assemble it. Sort of like a metal shop, which is nothing new.
