My name is Rene K. Mueller, got interested in RepRap a few years ago but didn't follow up as the first models were expensive and too complex to build and use - this changed and since about December 2011 got interested more thoroughly again, thanks to several Kickstarter projects, such as Printbot.

Contributions

• MakiBox, wiki-page started and basic information (not my invention, just realized it wasn't in the wiki yet)
• trying to put some structure and compareable numbers for each RepRap:
  • Printed vs Non-Printed Items (calculate a RepRapFactor)
  • Printing-Size / Building Volume
  • Material Cost (just the items)
  • Cost (assembled)
  • Precision (position/printing)
  • Speed (position/printing)

Favourite RepRaps

• Mendel, classic
  • Prusa Mendel, a bit simplified
    • Durbie Prusa Mendel, further refined
    • MendelMax, further refined

• Printrbot, very simple
  • Wallace, parametric version
  • Portabee, dito
