The overall aim of the RepRap open source project is to bring cheap affordable printers to people around the world. The advantages of RepRaps is that they are easy to build but can be used to great effect. We were fortunate enough to be given a BitsFromBytes 3D printer [citation needed] to kick start our programme on the basis that once we’d created a RepRap, we could pass on (or play it forward) the BfB printer. Therefore, we decided to pass this on to a local school which we feel would benefit greatly from the use of the printer.

The printer was passed to Simon, a CDT teacher from Campsmount School in Doncaster. We’ve created a page on this Blog where they can document their use of the BfB printer….we are expecting great things!
