Libro is a RepRap 3D printer designed to be created at public library makerspaces. Design emphasis is placed on 'foolproof' ease of assembly, minimal tool use, and short overall component print time. This development was originally begun as a makerspace program for the Pueblo City-County Library District by David Hartkop, PCCLD Technology Trainer.

The RepRap Libro is constructed partly from 3D printed parts and partly from low-cost commonly available hardware. The table below lists the objects to be 3D printed. All of these objects are available for download through Makerbot Thingiverse here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1063222

There is a helpful layout guide image that can be downloaded an printed to help with the final assembly of the machine's legs. Download the Delta Layout Guide at this link: http://reprap.org/mediawiki/images/b/ba/RepRap_Libro_Delta_Layout_Guide.jpeg

A second set of the same object files is available on github, along with the modified Marlin firmware for the RepRap Libro: https://github.com/qbit/RepRapLibro

The following table is a comprehensive list of all of the additional supplies to procure in order to construct your RepRap Libro. Many of these items are available through home improvement hardware stores. A few specialty hardware items may need to be purchased online, such as the heated J-Head hotend for reprap printers. The Pueblo City-County Library District was able to construct a RepRap Libro for right around $300 in parts, and was able to 3-D print all of the parts in house using a Makerbot Replicator 2 and Makerbot Replicator Dual.
