My reprap journey so far...
A bit about me first, My name is Jack Morelli, I'm 20 and in my third year of a Bachelor or Engineering (Mechanical) at the University of Adelaide, I first found out about the Reprap project whilst surfing the net in a very boring lecture in 2012 semester 1. I spent the subsequent 6 months (of boring lectures) doing more research into 3D printers and then decided to make one.
