Why so much hate? What's your point? Self-replicators will be available in the future, simply because it is a feasible technology. Whether you like it or not. You're just like one of those pompous self-righteous people who were shouting there will be no computers in peoples' homes and that they're just expensive toys with no practical use some 50 years ago.

@adrianbowyer Congratulations on your invention.. Truly, a remarkable asset to humanity. But not all people are sunning themselves on the beach. Some people don't know where their next meal is coming from, if at all. Why can't we use the tech we have to make all redundant service jobs (most of them) obsolete, create abundant goods for all people, and implement a rbe with the complimentary social values?

@adrianbowyer keeping jobs simply because you feel it's "wrong" to use a machine that can do it better in faster is just like giving a handout isn't it? like paying people to make boots on one end and paying more people to burn them on the other end just to give them a job. with an inexpensive 3d printer even an average person can build rapid prototypes making your ability to develop a viable product much easier.

the quality of the printed objects with this printer is just poor so its not worth it, maybe if they could make it print the 3d models more accurately then itll be decent (and also make it even cheaper) but as for now this printer is yet to be good

@KarriKoivusalo Are you keeping up with Reprap development? It's moving fast. Don't expect the Reprap to look like this in 10 years. Most "vitamin" parts, won't be printable for a long time, but it does not prevent people from reducing the number of vitamin parts needed. Electronics printing is possible today industrially and I wouldn't be surprised, if it is possible to print a small 8-bit computer within a decade. Don't think in terms of what's possible now. Think many years ahead.

@KarriKoivusalo In fact, this is a core aspect of Zeitgeist: This poor farmer will be able to give things away to his neighbor, including parts for another printer. Therefore, the limitation to his prosperity will be the resources available to him and not how much money he has. Now, take the open Reprap design principle and move it to metal, electronics and concrete printers. A family of open printers that can 100% make parts for each other. This covers most living needs without any money.

@KarriKoivusalo The "hobby" aspect of this machine is the price. Commercial printers are closed, expensive systems that don't replicate themselves and their only advantage is print quality. The Reprap is an open design that anyone can build. Increasing the speed and quality over time becomes a part of the design process being open, and allows it to spread faster than commercial printers. Any poor farmer, can print things without needing money instead of buying expensive things to survive.

This invention could really have a huge impact on how we live our lives in 5-10 years. The fact that it's open source makes it that more valuable. I guess the last hurdle before we end up with the Star Trek utopia is that a select few still controls the raw materials and the distribution of it. Maybe that can change too in time. I sure hope so. Keep fighting the good fight.

Imagine a sister machine to this one, that takes landfill material, melts and sorts it into all sorts of materials for the reprap to use. Like plastics, tin, other metals, etc. We could make it printable on a large reprap machine. Maybe economically cheap enough for each neighbourhood to have one.

This concept needs to be widened to community level facilities. How about a community metal shop that could copy itself to the next community and so on. This would require humans to be involved with the process but that's actually a good thing. Parts made in one place, workers move them and build to next location. With a near by place that could do heavier parts the number of things possible to make with this technology will explode...

Just in the same way that computers eliminated all those jobs that they were going to in the 1960s. After all, that's why we're all sunning ourselves on beaches now... This idea is entirely wrong. It's not employment that creates wealth, it's wealth that creates employment. And employment is definitely not a zero-sum game.

@KarriKoivusalo They are publicly available, but at a big cost and they are not used for making end-user products, only prototypes, and they don't self replicate. These machines will only be used for producing prototypes for the design labs together with expensive CAD software. They will follow their own path, separate from the Reprap. The prototyping companies won't jump on the Reprap, because there is no money in developing it, and certainly not when it becomes self-replicating.
@henrikmk

@KarriKoivusalo It doesn't matter how old the tech is. It's how it has been applied in the past, which has been for expensive prototyping in secret design labs. Reprap development is not money or patent-driven, and so the end product will be without the artificial limitations of a traditional product. One of the challenges will be to move it into an entirely money-less product cycle, where the manufacturing revolution then will quietly start. You can't do that now, but it will come, eventually.
