This is the Rep Rap Version I: Darwin printer. It is maintained for legacy purposes, if you are looking for the latest RepRap please refer to the Mendel page. While content is being moved to this page please refer to http://dev.www.reprap.org/bin/view/Main/RepRapOneDarwin for build instructions.

The current release of the RepRap Self-Replicating 3D Printer is called Darwin.
Cartesian Bot
These .stl files describe the Cartesian Bot. The Cartesian Bot is the 3-axis positioning system which forms the body of Darwin, the RepRap Printer. Use your RepRap (or some other kind of 3D printer) to make these parts. Then use them to build a new RepRap Printer.

Thermoplast Extruder
These .stl files describe the Thermoplast Extruder. The Thermoplast Extruder is the heart of the Darwin RepRap. Similar to a motorized hot glue gun, it builds up parts layer by layer. Use your RepRap (or some other kind of 3D printer) to make these parts. Assemble them to make a new Theroplast Extruder, and then use that as part of your new RepRap Printer.

Laser-Cut Parts Files
(Coming Soon) Use a Laser-cutter to make these parts. Then use them to build a new RepRap Printer.

Art of Illusion Files
(Coming Soon) These files were created using the 3D modeling program Art of Illusion (AoI). (Available for most operating systems!) Use AoI to edit the numerous .aoi files here, or to export them as .stl files, and then print the .stl files with your 3D printer. (And then build a new RepRap Printer).
