A
RepRap or more accurately
RepStrap machine made to resemble an original Darwin machine but using Components made from plywood. the overall objective being to boot strap a would be
RepRapper? whilst protecting the investment in mechanical components.
Basically build it out of plywood parts instead of plastic, then use the machine to print it's own plastic parts and replace the plywood parts with the newly printed parts. All using the same mechanical and electrical components.
I guess the last clever thing to do would be to then give the surplus plywood parts to a friend so they can do the same.
