As much as I commend these guys, this also makes me :facepalm:

This will give the government an excuse to put restrictions on a technology which is revolutionary and groundbreaking. Gun control is already very debatable in the US.

Yes it can print a printer :mrgreen:


*reprap.org/wiki/Main_Page
RepRap takes the form of a free desktop 3D printer capable of printing plastic objects. Since many parts of RepRap are made from plastic and RepRap prints those parts, RepRap self-replicates by making a kit of itself - a kit that anyone can assemble given time and materials. It also means that - if you've got a RepRap - you can print lots of useful stuff, and you can print another RepRap for a friend

If it can print anything, I wonder what its price would be! It has to be more expensive than most expensive thing..
