RepRap replicates 100% This story in Computerworld is a couple weeks old, and I should be working harder to keep up. Vik Olliver, a RepRap hacker in New Zealand (and probably the hardest-working RepRap hacker in the world), has now fabricated all the parts of the RepRap except the Z flag, which can be cut out of the side of a beer can. This includes only the parts that it makes sense to print on a RepRap, so it doesn't include stepper motors, nuts and bolts, pieces of metal and wood (e.g. threaded rods). I myself am still drooling a bit over some of the hobbyist CNC stuff. I was thinking a bit last night about how to drive those steppers, since the offerings on eBay don't include the drive electronics. It occurs to me that I've never posted the Sourceforge download page for the RepRap design files.
