I have a question concerning the statement "A RepStrap is a open-hardware rapid prototyping machine that doesn't make its own parts". I am a Wikipedia editor who is working to improve the RepRap Project Wikipedia page. A question has been raised on the Wikipedia RepRap Project Talk Page concerning whether we should classify a MakerBot as a RepStrap. It can make some RepRap parts, but does not meet the "doesn't make its own parts" criteria above. So my question is this; is not making its own pars a necessary attribute that defines a RepStrap, or is making RepRap parts enough? If the MakerBot isn't a RepStrap, what should Wikipedia call it?
