Thanks for this excellent interview and promoting this revolutionary technology! Good job!
I, too, am an ardent follower of the RepRap. I have been waffling about building a small CNC mill or a RepRap and have decided to do both by building a repstrap mill, so I could make a RepRap among other things, and have decided to start a “spur” project that makes a small milling machine that makes its own parts, and in the long term the goal is to make ALL of its own parts including the motors and circuit boards etc.
