Introduction
The Snapdragon takes self-replication to a new level. The entire frame and print bed can be RP printed. The build surface area can be increased by adding joiner plates at each of the corners. I suppose we could even do away with the #6 screws, and nuts, and replace them with filament as cotter pins, but I'll resist that idea until I get the first prototype built.
I'm sorry to say that I'm working the design in SolidWorks, so the initial files will be released in that format. I could use OpenScad, but it would take me forever to finish. I welcome all offers for someone to take on the task of porting the design to OpenScad.
