The RapRap is an open source 3D printer that you can build yourself. It makes objects that you like, but can also make parts to make another RepRap, or an improved RepRap. Once you, or a friend has a RepRap, you can start making more of these.

This is a simplified simulation of the mechanical "Cartesian bot". It allows you to play with things like play (a.k.a. backlash), tension of the belt that drives the axis, etc.

If you want to run the simulation yourself:
- download http://www.phunland.com (free, as in free beer)
- install "Phun"
- download the model: http://reprap.erikdebruijn.nl/files/Simulation/RepRap-cartesian-play-v2.phz

  • @TheDudeFromCI they're creating a printer that lets you "print" aka manufacture, just about any shape of plastic you want, in your home.

  • this is really great! more simulation into reprap design will speed up the design process. Would you be able to put similar effort into the extruder and the physics involved with gravity, and temp from running a gcode? a real live simulation of how a reprap prints would allow a person to know how well a print works in a few minutes simulation rather than 6hrs after it finishes.

  • I don't get it.
