Notes

Try to rotate these once a week, so we're not showing favoritism to any one vendor.

Amusing Cultural Note

RepRap really does not "Official". We're more sort of a guerrilla army, by nature and by practice. If you, dear reader, do up a RepRap, it's probably official. If you are selling it on ebay, I hope you are considering it official, and otherwise stand by your work. If you gladly stuff the cad files in the wiki, it's definitely official. And if everyone else likes it, and it doesn't has not yet burst into flames, in that case, everyone recommends it to everyone else.

In which case it is almost definitely more official than the other stuff in the wiki.

But it's all opinion, really. RepRap doesn't really do "Official", and it is not really clear if it does policy.

Speaking as one of RepRap's officials.

If you embrace this attitude, than you're definitely one of RepRap's officials as well.

Especially if you just did up a nice clean wiki page with lots of juicy cad files.  :D

Difficult to get more official than that.

I hope this off-the-cuff extemporization conveys to you that we are not trying to bias the wiki in favor of one flavor of electronics over the other. (We leave that to the folk in the forums and IRC, which are the best places to ask "Do I buy the Generation 12 Electronics or the Generation Tended To Burst Into Flames Electronics?")

What does this mean?

These are the electronics that the secret cabal reprap-dev likes.
