RepRap Morgan Receives $20,000 Gada Prize For Simplifying 3D-Printer 67
An anonymous reader writes "South African Quentin Harley has picked up the $20,000 Gada Uplift prize for making the open source RepRap 3D printer design easier to build, cheaper to construct, and — most importantly — capable of printing more of its own parts. Lots of background on Harley and his RepRap Morgan are available on his website."
A further goal of the RepRap Morgan project is to replace the Prusa Mendel as the default RepRap model. And they are on track to hit less than $100 in parts, excluding the printing bed. You can grab the hardware design and the controller firmware over at Github.

when machines start building parts to repair themselves fully, it will be akin to humans procreating..
What are you trying to say? That soon 35% of internet traffic will be videos of machines building parts?
