The RapMan is a commercial work based on the Darwin with
- different electronics (no PC required, working with gcode-files off an SD-card utilizing an OLED display as user interface) and
- the rapid prototyped parts replaced by laser cut acrylic parts, and
- a different extruder (said to be quite reliable)
- electronics, CAD files of acrylic parts and the BOM are mostly closed source
It is sold by Bits From Bytes as a kit containing all required parts and assembly instructons.
The new RepMan Pro is even sold pre-assembled and ready to run as an offering mostly to technical, educational institutions.
BitsFromBytes have released some versions of their firmware under a Creative Commons license, but they're almost never current. To reduce the dependence on releases at their discretion, an open source fork of the firmware was proposed.
