Session: What a RepRap is and how hardware construction works with Open Source
Wednesday, 13:00 - 13:50
Track: Xtra(ck)
A description of what a RepRap is (Selfassembly hobby 3D printer), and how it is constructed (using the open source drawings) with some purchased parts them self being Open Source.
Prerequisites
Some technical curiosity, more practical than theoretical. It is NOT about software.
Expectations
What is the RepRap and how you could build your own. How does Open Source Hardware work, as it is not free.
