Items Made
This page shows some samples made by prototype and production RepRap machines.
The samples on this page are in reverse chronological order - most recent first. A lot of these are steps on the road to having the machine copy itself rather than more instantly-appealing utility items like coat hooks, mobile phone cases, car headlamp housings and so on. We make no apology for this - as any biologist will appreciate, having the machine copy itself is the most useful possible thing we can make it do, and is the primary goal of the whole project.
This is the first set of RepRap parts themselves made by a RepRap machine that were sold to someone else. Cost: One case of beer... The person who's RepRap made them is Wade Bortz.

Here's a reprapped fly swat. It took about an hour and a half to make. The handle is made in two sections (it's too long to go in a standard RepRap machine) then welded together with a hot knife.

Here's a reprapped pair of child's shoes. The machine took about a day to make them, but during that time I was just catching rays in the garden... Get the file here under "Child's shoes".

Here's a reprapped water filter insert. It took about 20 minutes to make in the RepRap machine.

Here's a reprapped door handle. It took me 25 minutes to design in the free Art of Illusion design program, then I set it running in my home RepRap machine. It took quite a while to build: about 12 hours. Get the files here under "RepRap door handle".

Here's a reprapped coat-hook. It took me 12 minutes to design in the free Art of Illusion design program, then I set it running in my home RepRap machine. I went out for the afternoon then came back, and I had a coat-hook that I didn't have before. Utterly trivial, except:

The first image shows the parts for a RepRap extruder made by RepRap itself in polycaprolactone. The second image shows the two complete RepRap polymer extruders. The one on the right was made in a commercial RP machine. The one on the left was made by the one on the right - the first complete self-replicated functioning RepRap part. The new extruder is shown starting to extrude for itself. 6 March 2007 |

This is the first complete object out of a RepRap machine. It is a test hexagon made in polycaprolactone.
