RepRap is the technology on which Josef Průša built his company, Prusa Research. A while ago, in recognition of this, he very kindly gave Adrian a Prusa SL1 – one of his open-source stereolithography machines – and we have been

Duet 2 Maestro is the new controller for RepRap Fisher
We have updated our RepRap Fisher 3D Printer to use the new Duet 2 Maestro electronics, as well as implementing a number of other updates and design improvements. All our kits shipped from September 2019 will all have the Duet Maestro included.
Recycling
Most recycling streams are not set up to process PLA, despite the fact that PLA is probably the most widely-used 3D printed material and is easy to recycle in a number of ways. This needs to change, and the 3D
Fisher Kits Update 1178.2
Our Fisher kits have had a revamp and are now shipped with a MasterSpool and MasterSpool refill of PLA. We have modified the Fisher spool-holder spigot design and the side-panel DXF files to hold Masterspools. We have rearranged some of
Guillotine
We have designed and made the electronics for our multi-filament drive. It is in the form of an Arduino shield with DC H-bridge motor controllers, opto-sensors and an I2C interface. The I2C means that it will be possible to drive
Soap! The plot thickens.
3D printing with RepRaps is so cool! Two years ago the soap dish in my shower broke (6 months after it was installed…). So I designed and printed one: Today that one broke too (arrowed). But nil desperandum! I just downloaded my
Off With His Head!
We are developing a multi-filament drive to a single nozzle hot end, as mentioned in this previous post about filament stream merging. It will require an in-line filament guillotine, and we have just finished the first version. This is a
We can 3D print that for you!
Did you know that we can 3D print your models for you? As you may have heard 3D Hubs is no longer offering the services of small businesses, like us, to its customers. However we are still accepting orders directly.
RepRap is 10!

PLA Filament Back in Stock
We have recently taken delivery of 750g reels of Elefilament Tangy Orange and Dove Grey 1.75mm PLA. Following on from our request back at the beginning of the year (slight delay caused by a broken ankle…) we are now stocking Elefilament
