Project Goals
To compete in the Gada Prize competition. More coming soon...
Interim Gada Prize Criteria (official rules)
The winner of this Gada prize will be the individual (or group) who can make a RepRap that meets the following specifications:
- Ability to print at least three different materials, including one that is usefully electrically conductive.
- Ability to print electronic circuit boards.
- Print beds† must be of a material which may be reused with minimal refurbishment for at least 20 print cycles.
- Maintain a total materials and parts cost under $200 and that 90% of the volume of the printer parts be printed.††
- Demonstrate a build volume of the printer above 300x300x100mm in order to ensure that items of daily utility can be printed.
- The capacity to print a full set of parts for a complete replica of itself within 10 days unattended save for clearing no more than one printer head jam.
- Ability to print autonomously without a PC attached.
- Uses no more than 60 watts of electrical power.
†Print beds are flat surfaces onto which parts are printed
††Print beds are not necessarily a permanent part of the printer and are not figured into either the cost or the volume requirements of a printer
All entries must be open source hardware projects, including all designs, schematics, source code, CAD files, etc.
Award amount up $20,000
