The RepRap Project aims to produce machines that can produce a wide variety of useful goods - including copies of themselves!

This is the place to post anything about the project, related news, discussion between users, help requests (in the sticky thread), and so on. Welcome!

##About RepRap:

The name is short for "self-Replicating Rapid prototyper, and for now that means 3D printing! In the longer term, the project will give physical goods the economic properties of Free software - shareable and improvable by anyone with minimal cost or external control.

Most 3D printers are not RepRaps any more - or yet!. A RepRap must be able to produce more than half it's own parts, typically the mechanical structure.

##Subreddit rules:

Stay relevant to the RepRap project or a RepRap machine.
If you have a question or need help, use the sticky threads.
Be nice. This rule should be unnecessary!
