There is lots of great activity happening at RepRap, with its superlative slogan, “wealth without money”. The big news lately is the upcoming release of “RepRap II”, also called Mendel. The first was Darwin. Here is a video of Mendel’s first print:

The cost for the parts to build Mendel is approximately £395. However, it can self-replicate. Here’s a description of the improvements of Mendel over Darwin:

Congratulations to everyone at RepRap on their work.
