Wiki RepRap is humanity's first general-purpose self-replicating manufacturing machine. 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... RepRap is about making self-replicating machines, and making them freely available for the benefit of everyone. We are using 3D printing to do this, but if you have other technologies that can copy themselves and that can be made freely available to all, then this is the place for you too. Reprap.org is a community project, which means you are welcome to edit most pages on this site, or better yet, create new pages of your own. RepRap was voted the most significant 3D-printed object in 2017.

RepRap was the first of the low-cost 3D printers, and the RepRap Project started the open-source 3D printer revolution. RepRap was voted the most significant 3D-printed object in 2017.

RepRap Open Source Ecology DK LABORATORIES HAL File Details: This is the HAL file that links all the system signals to the kinematic model and then outbound o the parallel port aka 'parport.0' Mixing stepgen and scara kinematics was a difficult exercise, there are a number of commented-out sections from the debug process. I ended up generating a servo-thread for each axis parameter (0-8) and then piped the output to the parallel port (parport, 0X378). After stepgen was generating step-direction data, that is linked to the actual positions (J0pos, etc). A few functions were inverted in output state, however a simple setp parport.0.pin-03-out-invert 1 Inverted the state before it hit the hardware output Fault inputs and limit switches were generated next to prevent out-of-bounds positioning and prevent the robot from running into the wall (again) Lastly, each axis of the robot commanded positions were fed back into the scaragui net j0 axis.0.joint-pos-fb scaragui.joint0

A Pacific island rose up in arms against giant mining corporation Rio Tinto Zinc (RTZ) - and won despite a military occupation and blockade. When RTZ decided to step up production at the Panguna Mine on the island of Bougainville, they got more than they bargained for. The Papua New Guinea Army (PNGDF) were mobilised in an attempt to put down the rebellion. What was happening within the blockade was an environmental and spiritual revolution.
